Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, San Francisco’s annual folk, bluegrass, old-timey and country festival held in Golden Gate Park every October, has announced their first acts for vol. 8, 2008. Mark your calendars for October 3-5, 2008.

The line up includes:

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss featuring T Bone Burnett
Loudon Wainwright III
Gogol Bordello
Hazel Dickens
Bonnie Prince Billy
Asleep at the Wheel
Mike Farris & the Roseland Rhythm Revue
The Del McCoury Band
Bad Livers
Robert Earl Keen
Iris DeMent
Jerry Jeff Walker
The Desert Rose Band
Earl Scruggs
Greg Brown

I have no idea why a legend like Earl Scruggs is billed that low.

If you can handle the ridiculous crowds and pricey concessions, HSB is a pretty amazing festival.
