Warren is gone, but the music lives on.
The lucky 13th edition of the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival kicks off with MC Hammer and the middle school program on Friday -- and heats up from there.
Up to 800,000 people are expected to flock to Golden Gate Park for the free music festival Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, which runs Friday through Sunday, Oct. 4-6.
The complete schedule can be found here.
It includes: Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaak, Boz Scaggs, Conor Oberst and The String Cheese Incident (not all at the same time, though we may pay to see that).
Guess who else will be there?
Jimmie Dale Gilmore, of "Lebowski" fame, (that's him, Smokey) will play with the Flatlanders.
It's a long list. Feel free to sift through it below, or go to the festival Web page to see for yourself.
