Hardly Strictly Bluegrass has announced a second round of performers slated to participate in the 2024 edition of the annual event, which will take place from Friday, October 4, to Sunday, October 6, at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. This year’s occasion marks the 24th iteration of the event, intended to present over 70 artists across six stages this fall.
Today’s artist additions include J Lee & Blue Summit, Sleater-Kinney, Emmylou Harris, Sean McConnell, Levitation Room, Ibibio Sound Machine, Jobi Riccio, Dakhabrakha, Tony Trischka’s Earl Jam, and Devendra Banhart on the lineup. Newly tacked-on talent comes after the first-wave announcement, which featured venerable acts such as Greensky Bluegrass, Robyn Hitchcock, The Wood Brothers, Fruition, a special 50th Anniversary celebration of Big Star’s Radio City, and more.
Bluegrass troubadour Trischka commented on his impending salute to Earl Scruggs, offering via a press release, “I really look forward to returning to Hardly Strictly with Earl Jam: my tribute to Earl Scruggs, celebrating his 100th birthday. The last time I played the festival it was a gorgeous, sunny day in Golden Gate Park and Earl was also on the show and played incredibly, so it seems fitting to return to this great festival to honor this great man!”
Trischka’s set takes its name from his latest endeavors, a tribute set honoring the late three-finger picking banjoist, with studio assistance from Billy Strings, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, Sam Bush, and others. The LP was discussed in our June 2024 issue of Relix Magazine. Order now.
