The beloved Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is finally set for its in-person return to Golden Gate Park September 30th - October 2nd. The popular weekend event attracts an audience of over 500,000 music lovers.

If you’re not up for braving the crowds but want to see some of the talented artists - here’s a little secret, HSB has partnered with several North Bay venues for some nighttime performances.

Two not-to be missed artists include Sarah Shook & The Disarmers and Aoife O’Donovan, who will extend their performances "out of the park" at Healdsburg’s The Lounge at Little Saint. The charming venue boasts an expansive 12’x16’ stage, and an outdoor bar that offers seasonal and farm-inspired bites + specialty cocktails.
