    If you added Yarn and Railroad Earth to that line up, I'd make the trip to San Fran.

    Ever since I heard Yarn I've been thinking they'd be a great fit at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass... It's a great festival. Some bluegrass for sure but a lot of acts that you wouldn't necessarily expect at a "bluegrass festival" - last year, MC Hammer was on the lineup! Gillian is a standby every year and I'm surprised to not see EmmyLou and Steve Earle this year, as they've been there every other year I attended.

    Sadly, I'll be at a wedding in Massachusetts that weekend :( Same weekend as ACL too. I'm really bummed I can't make either!
