“Hardly Strictly Bluegrass happens right across the bridge from me, as I live in Oakland, CA. It’s been a longtime dream of mine to play HSB, and that dream came true in 2024!,” noted Miko Marks in a press release.

“My band and I are so excited to return, play, and spend the entire weekend with fans and friends—while making new ones along the way. I’m looking forward to connection, chatting with other artists and fans, slowing it all down and being present for what has been such a generous gift to the Bay Area for more than 25 years. See y’all soon, HSB!”
