Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway joined Steve Earle at HSB in 2024, and this seemed like a good time to share their set. It's waiting for you on HSB TV:

Streaming Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the highlight of my music year. Free and freaking awesome. Los Lobos just left the stage. Molly Tuttle comes on at 5:50. Too many great bands to name so check the schedule and start streaming! #musicsky #HSB26 #SanFranciscoSky #GoldenGatePark #FreeMusic

#TBT Seven years ago, I saw Robert Plant at #HardlyStrictlyBluegrass, the free festival in Golden Gate Park. We took a few pics of my new book as we waited. Plant is playing #HSB26 again Sunday but sadly I'll miss it.
