Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Announces 'Out Of The Park' Lineup

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass announces its "Out Of The Park" lineup of nighttime, post festival shows. Partnering with local venues, HSB announces shows with Marcus Mumford, Bonny Light Horseman, Antibalas, Aoife O'Donovan, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers, Moonalice, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Waco Brothers & Bob Schneider with the Hazel Dickens documentary. See below for a list of Out of The Park shows.

In addition, HSB also reveals a third round of acts playing at the festival in Golden Gate Park. Today's additions include Bonny Light Horseman, Rhiannon Giddens w/ Francesco Turrisi, Waxahatchee, Béla Fleck - My Bluegrass Heart, Danielle Ponder, Ismay, Jay Som, Amythyst Kiah, Aoife O'Donovan, and Rainbow Girls. The lineup was teased with an exclusive medley streaming now on the official Hardly Strictly Bluegrass website and HSB22 app. The next and final medley will be released on September 6.

HSB is continuing their partnership with Bay Area non-profit Music in Schools Today (MUST), with all venues donating $1.00 from every ticket sold at the "Out Of The Park" shows. MUST develops and delivers music education programs that increase student academic achievement and emotional well-being. MUST has provided music classes to over half a million underserved children - over 51,000 through their annual instrument donation program and another 3,000 through artist-led residencies.
