Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Announces 2016 Webcast

The 2016 edition of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival begins today at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and continues through Sunday, October 2. If you can’t make it to the Bay Area to attend the fest in person, there’s an option to watch select performances from home or wherever you have an internet connection.

Provided in partnership with Chime Interactive by Moonalice and Doobie Decibel System on their live video platform, a free live webcast from three stages at this year’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival will be available starting today. Performances taking place at the Banjo Stage, Arrow Stage and Swan Stage will stream on their respective channels. As of press time only Friday’s schedule featuring Mavis Staples, Delta Rae, Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas and others has been revealed, with the following disclaimer from HSB:

Please note that in true HSB spirit, we allow each artist to decide if they would like to be streamed. This means not every artist from these stages will be included. We will do our best to keep an updated schedule of confirmed artists clearly listed here so check back to see updates.
