He's played sold out shows at MSG and hangs with the biggest bands in the biz. He's played on Ray Lamontagne albums and worked on projects with the Black Keys. So why he couldn't get me back stage for his show at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is causing me to ask myself "maybe because he didn't want to hang out with me?". Oh well it was still fun to see him. And I know we dig each other the most.
Hardly Strictly is a super fun fest. 6 stages, great music and its all free. A big money guy by the name of Hellman said to himself one day, Im rich, Do I want a Monet or a Music Fest? He went fest and set up a trust to continue to fund the event for the foreseeable future. Great hang at the golden gate park in downtown SF. Great city. Except for their stupid liberal sanctuary city law. Thats just the worst.

San Fran, wall to wall music with some good eats.

Rooster Stage. My bro in law playing with Jim James of MMJ.

You have heard of the famous chinatown in SF, but they also have a japantown. This joint served up u-cook-it ramen. Super fresh and super-er authentic. The Sapporo Dark made me happy.

The Fillmore, if you don't know, is the birthplace of a whole new type of music. Made famous by visionary Bill Graham, this place was the birthplace of the grateful dead and so many other bands that its walls just ooze coolness. The poster room upstairs is pretty epic. Had to post this one of Jerry. Great venue, great show. Ive always wanted hear a band here and the fact that I get to hear my family play here was a surreal experience. One that I would have never had if not for this trip. Once again I know that God loves me and he shows me almost ever day.

Seth is far left.
