Despite being so far west of the Mississippi, San Francisco can seem like a bluegrass lover's paradise. The annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is the flagship event, attracting tens of thousands to Golden Gate Park in October. Yet HSBF's nine-year-old cousin, the San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival, does a better job spreading itself all over the city, spotlighting the venues that support local players throughout the year. In addition to a square dance at the Swedish American Hall, films at the Red Vic, and various music workshops, this year's fest features performances by two progenitors of California bluegrass, David Grisman and Peter Rowan.
