After a painfully long 2 year hiatus (for obvious reasons) Hardly Strictly Bluegrass triumphantly returned to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park!
At this year’s Fest I opted to (mostly) stick to the smaller, more intimate stages, as it’s easier for me to “geek out” with my video cam. No challenging obstructions (other than boisterous fans) and an easier time of documenting some of the action. Here’s what I captured in 2022!
(With HUGE appreciation to the Hellman Family and in tribute to the late, great Warren Hellman!)
