We know some of you are heading to Outside Lands<\/strong> this weekend in San Francisco.\u00a0 If not (yeah, that’s us), there are two festivals coming up in September to sate your music festival desires.\u00a0 They’re not Glastonbury, but won’t take a 10 hour flight or involve fields of mud and rain (we hope).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First up on September 3rd is the FYF Fest<\/strong><\/a> at the Los Angeles State Historic Park in downtown L.A.\u00a0 Check out the lineup, the highlights of which for us will be Guided by Voices, Broken Social Scene, Girls, The Weakerthans, Explosions in the Sky<\/strong> and Cass McCombs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then of course there’s the free three-day Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival <\/strong><\/a>in San Francisco from September 30th to October 2nd.\u00a0 We attended last year<\/strong><\/a> and were enthralled despite the crowds (owing solely to the guidance of HSB veterans’ voices–thanks John!).\u00a0 This year’s lineup (with more to be added) looks even better than last year.\u00a0 Amongst countless others scheduled to perform:\u00a0 Elbow(!!!!!)<\/strong>,\u00a0 Bright Eyes, Broken Social Scene, The Felice Brothers, M. Ward, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson with Merle Haggard, Gomez, Robyn Hitchcock, Gillian Welch, Over the Rhine<\/strong> and Justin Townes Earle<\/strong> (with his estranged father, Steve Earle<\/strong>, performing separately).\u00a0 It’s an embarrassment of riches, and it’s free<\/strong>.\u00a0 Did we mention free<\/strong>?\u00a0 Be there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
