First Artists For Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2017 Announced

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass website released its first teaser medley Tuesday, providing clues about who would appear at this year's festival.

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is an annual free music festival that's been held in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park each year since 2001. The festival has always been free thanks to its founder, venture capitalist Warren Hellman (who passed away in 2011).
