Warren Hellmans gift to all the music lovers in the Bay and beyond! Robert Plant October 2-4 was a gorgeous weekend of music for about 800,00 attendees, over the three days, in sunny San Francisco! Mellow and super friendly are usually my descriptives of the annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass music festival. This year was no exception! Chuck Poling HSB emcee As soon as I entered the park I heard the voice of my friend Chuck Poling through the speakers at the Towers of Gold stag

Warren Hellmans' legacy....a warm, friendly and vibrant, annual San Francisco music event. View from the stage (David Noble) Every year in early October Golden Gate Park hosts a wonderful music event called Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. As it infers in the title, it's way more than Bluegrass, although there is bluegrass played, this festival is hardly strictly bluegrass alone...it's all genres...blues, pop, rock, country, jazz, punk and all kinds of music is welcomed and showcas
