But he loves classical music, and even as a kid, when he couldn't understand why nobody else got as excited about Beethoven as he did, he wanted to share it with his friends. That would be you. He studied viola at Oberlin, and over the last 20 years he's been a performer, promoter, presenter, producer and publicist for classical music organizations in New York and the Bay Area. He is currently the Music Director and Evening Announcer for KDFC, and the radio voice of the San Francisco Symphony.",

For those of us who weren’t collecting DFA 12″ singles back in ’06 (guilty), this particular jam flew under the radar; barring the new punctuation in the title, the song sounds identical to the original ’06 iteration, which partially explains why it has all the trappings of an archetypal Death From Above cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That year seems to be a flagship time for the DFA label, as well: It came as it was releasing the full-length debuts of LCD Soundsystem and The Juan MacLean, bringing Hot Chip to the fore with the release of \u003cem>The Warning\u003c/em>, and cementing Tim Goldsworthy and James Murphy’s genius as producers with the release of two DFA remix compilations. The Rapture, and the purported dance-punk revival that accompanied the band’s success, no longer seemed like the label’s major calling card, and Black Dice was still the only black-sheep band amongst a bunch of dance-floor technicians (These days, Shocking Pinks, Free Energy and the Prinzhorn Dance School round out the exceptions.)

That’s not to downplay the songwriting of Marcus Lambkin (a.k.a. S– Robot), who deserves far more credit than is currently being paid here; it’s just hard to tell where the line between producer and artist stands in this case. (Murphy even contributes vocals to the track.) “Triumph!!!” simply sits so comfortably within the DFA aesthetic — the patience in song development, the smart pastiche of influences, the attention to detail — that it’s hard not to see it as less of a S– Robot track and more of an artifact of collaboration that resurfaced in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it’s just the fact that \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fpitchfork.com%2Fnews%2F37789-tim-goldsworthy-splits-with-dfa%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHrO2B760LvexKOYFXz8vy9BbX8Zw\">the artistic relationship between Goldsworthy and James Murphy seems to have dissolved\u003c/a>, or the fact that Murphy’s best songs don’t often take this type of approach anymore, but for fans of the label, “Triumph!!!” can induce a yearning for the DFA of the mid-’00s — a welcome anachronism to the eclecticism of the label’s more recent direction.

The opera’s original three acts have been distilled into a single, one-hour act geared specifically toward younger audience members, but which still retains all the magic and melody of the complete opera. There are two performances: Saturday, December 11 at 1pm and 4pm, and it may be the best bargain around; tickets are just $5 each. There is also a special party after the 4pm performance to benefit the conservatory’s Scholarship Program. Tickets for the party are $50 for kids, $75 for adults, but you get refreshments (cookies and punch for kids, wine and cheese for adults), craftmaking, and a chance to meet the characters. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcm.edu\">Find out more\u003c/a> at sfcm.edu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/michael.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/music/article.jsp?essid=26769\">I’ve written before\u003c/a> about the Oakland East Bay Symphony’s \u003cb>Let Us Break Bread Together\u003c/b> concerts, but it bears repeating: it’s one of the highlights of the holiday season in the East Bay, celebrating the whole community by adding African-American, Jewish and Eastern Orthodox music to the holiday program.

Tickets for the party are $50 for kids, $75 for adults, but you get refreshments (cookies and punch for kids, wine and cheese for adults), craftmaking, and a chance to meet the characters. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcm.edu\">Find out more\u003c/a> at sfcm.edu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/michael.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/music/article.jsp?essid=26769\">I’ve written before\u003c/a> about the Oakland East Bay Symphony’s \u003cb>Let Us Break Bread Together\u003c/b> concerts, but it bears repeating: it’s one of the highlights of the holiday season in the East Bay, celebrating the whole community by adding African-American, Jewish and Eastern Orthodox music to the holiday program.

"headTitle": "Oakland Art Gallery, Experimental Music Space, 21 Grand Set to Close | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://21grand.artpractice.org/\">21 Grand\u003c/a> is certainly among the most resilient of Bay Area volunteer-run DIY arts spaces. It has survived 10 years and three locations, starting out at its namesake address 21 Grand Avenue (now part of Era Art Bar), moving two blocks up to 23rd Street near Broadway (demolished to make room for the new high-rise condo containing Picán and Ozumo restaurants), and finally to its current location at 416 25th St. near Broadway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past decade, 21 Grand, a nonprofit founded by Oakland artists Darren Jenkins and Sarah Lockhart, established a name for itself as a center for groundbreaking arts. Emerging local talent like \u003ca href=\"http://www.lutherthie.com/\">Luther Thie\u003c/a>, Tara Daly, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sarahwagner.net/\">Sarah Wagner\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.johnko.biz/\">John Colle Rogers\u003c/a> have shown their work in the gallery. As a venue, it’s hosted everything from fringe theater and performance art to experimental poetry readings, but it’s most known for wildly diverse, cutting-edge live music. 21 Grand has become something of a home for the East Bay’s improvisational new music scene, where internationally acclaimed composers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.fredfrith.com/\">Fred Frith\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.evandermusic.com/\">Phillip Greenlief\u003c/a> play regularly, and at the same time, it hosts a wide range of uber-hip shows featuring punk, noise, art rock, post no-wave, and knob-twiddling electronic music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever was going on at 21 Grand, you knew it was worth seeing. It might have been Gregg Gillis of \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/girltalk\">Girl Talk\u003c/a> dancing on donuts, \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/moestaianomoekestra/music\">Moe! Staiano\u003c/a> tossing pipes down the stairs, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sonicyouth.com/\">Sonic Youth\u003c/a> playing a “secret show,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.basedworld.com/\">Lil B\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/thepack\">The Pack\u003c/a> throwing down his kooky rhymes, or Jorge Boehringer as \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/coreoggthecoalman\">Core of the Coalman\u003c/a> strumming an amplified viola like an electric guitar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the beginning, I took a big tent approach, and said ‘Let’s just draw from the broad spectrum of all the weird, innovative, and non-mainstream music that’s going on in the Bay Area,'” says Lockhart, 21 Grand’s co-founder and long-term programming director who resigned in September. “We tried to have a place where it wasn’t just a clubhouse for one particular aesthetic or one particular scene.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, 21 Grand faces a real threat. \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandnorth.net/2010/10/18/cost-of-culture-in-oakland-120000/\">As reported in Oakland North\u003c/a>, Jenkins, the space’s director, received a “cease and desist cabaret activity” notice from the City of Oakland in September. For the venue to receive a cabaret permit, the landlord would have to agree to renovations costing upwards of $100,000 so the space meets building and fire codes. The live music performances were what paid the rent, with attendees usually paying $5-$10 admittance on a sliding scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayoral candidate and City Councilmember-At-Large Rebecca Kaplan has asserted her support for 21 Grand and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/KaplanForMayor#p/u/2/nMVrM_icwTI\">reforming the cabaret laws\u003c/a> so live music can thrive in Oakland. In fact, part of 21 Grand’s success hinged on grants it received between 2005 and 2007 from both the City of Oakland and County of Alameda to fund creative music programming. This money allowed 21 Grand to commission scores from Staiano and \u003ca href=\"http://nowave.pair.com/weasel_walter/\">Weasel Walter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lockhart says keeping the venue financially sustainable was always a struggle, given that it didn’t sell alcohol and she and Jenkins didn’t live in the space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, 21 Grand, a founding member of the flourishing first-Fridays art walk Oakland Art Murmur, is also a highly respected gallery that paved the way for Oakland to make its mark in the art world. Ironically the multiple new Uptown Arts District galleries following in its path — \u003ca href=\"http://www.vessel-gallery.com/\">Vessel\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://johanssonprojects.com/default.htm\">Johansson Projects\u003c/a>, et. al — will likely step into the gap. However, the experimental music scene will feel the blow, even as illegal Oakland warehouses and legit spaces like San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelab.org/\">The Lab\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.luggagestoregallery.org/\">The Luggage Store\u003c/a> will pick up the slack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All these shows from all these different scenes will still happen — just not all in the same place,” says Jenkins, who is now 21 Grand’s sole director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins has now signed a lease termination agreement with 21 Grand’s current landlord for the end of January, and programming will likely end by December 31. He says he plans on looking for a better space and continuing with the organization as long as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether 21 Grand is going to open in another space is still up in the air,” he says. “The feedback I’m getting is that it’s something that a lot of people still value. If there wasn’t a need, or if this community had outgrown that need, then maybe it is time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with Fred Frith, an internationally renowned composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist, and professor of composition at Mills College about the impact 21 Grand’s closing might have on the Bay Area experimental music scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cb>Lisa Hix:\u003c/b> Why is 21 Grand special to you?\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Fred Frith:\u003c/b> Wherever I have lived — which at this point includes London, New York, Tokyo, and Stuttgart, for example — I have thrived on being able to develop work in the intimate context of a small venue where there is no artificial separation of performer and audience, where there are minimal technical needs, and where you can achieve a kind of family feeling where local and “out of town” cultures can meet. 21 Grand came to represent that for me, and I enjoyed bringing performers there from Berlin, Oslo, New York, and Zurich as well as doing shows with local performers I hadn’t played with before, or bringing my Mills Improvisation Ensemble there to try things out in front of a non-Mills audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cb>Hix:\u003c/b> Is 21 Grand vital to the scene?\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Frith:\u003c/b> The fact is that there’s less media support of any kind around here than anywhere I’ve ever lived, so it’s a permanent struggle to develop a scene that doesn’t depend on the somewhat parochial local press viewpoint. We have extraordinary musicians and performers and artists here, most of whom are surviving by doing day jobs, and only get to do well-paid work when they leave the area, if not the country. So we have to struggle with what we have, and like the old days in Eastern Europe, I am ceaselessly impressed by the energy that these folks bring to somehow keeping the whole Bay Area cultural ship afloat. In this sense, 21 Grand has been a great resource, run by hard-working, sympathetic, and imaginative people who are on our side. So damn right it’s important to me, and it should be important to everyone else too, if they want to see a living culture instead of a bunch of neat PR packages. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cb>Hix:\u003c/b> Where will the scene go?\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Frith:\u003c/b> It’ll be the same as always. New places will no doubt spring up until they get closed down for whatever reason, all run by the artists themselves until they run out of energy, or money, or allies, or luck, just like always. And of course there are other local places that will continue to support music without necessarily specializing in “niche genres” — The Lab, Meridian Gallery, East Nile, The Uptown, The Starry Plough. Otherwise they’ll go to perform wherever they can get a decent gig, which usually means not around here! I can name at least a dozen top ranking musicians who’ve left the Bay Area within the last two years because of how bad the situation has become here, and there are probably a lot more than that. We need half a dozen 21 Grands, and a media that actually shows up and takes note, and let me applaud the honorable exceptions to that statement!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For \u003ca href=\"http://21grand.artpractice.org/\">more information\u003c/a> visit 21grand.artpractice.org.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It has survived 10 years and three locations, starting out at its namesake address 21 Grand Avenue (now part of Era Art Bar), moving two blocks up to 23rd Street near Broadway (demolished to make room for the new high-rise condo containing Picán and Ozumo restaurants), and finally to its current location at 416 25th St. near Broadway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past decade, 21 Grand, a nonprofit founded by Oakland artists Darren Jenkins and Sarah Lockhart, established a name for itself as a center for groundbreaking arts. Emerging local talent like \u003ca href=\"http://www.lutherthie.com/\">Luther Thie\u003c/a>, Tara Daly, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sarahwagner.net/\">Sarah Wagner\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.johnko.biz/\">John Colle Rogers\u003c/a> have shown their work in the gallery. As a venue, it’s hosted everything from fringe theater and performance art to experimental poetry readings, but it’s most known for wildly diverse, cutting-edge live music. 21 Grand has become something of a home for the East Bay’s improvisational new music scene, where internationally acclaimed composers like \u003ca href=\"http://www.fredfrith.com/\">Fred Frith\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.evandermusic.com/\">Phillip Greenlief\u003c/a> play regularly, and at the same time, it hosts a wide range of uber-hip shows featuring punk, noise, art rock, post no-wave, and knob-twiddling electronic music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever was going on at 21 Grand, you knew it was worth seeing. It might have been Gregg Gillis of \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/girltalk\">Girl Talk\u003c/a> dancing on donuts, \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/moestaianomoekestra/music\">Moe!

For the venue to receive a cabaret permit, the landlord would have to agree to renovations costing upwards of $100,000 so the space meets building and fire codes. The live music performances were what paid the rent, with attendees usually paying $5-$10 admittance on a sliding scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In fact, part of 21 Grand’s success hinged on grants it received between 2005 and 2007 from both the City of Oakland and County of Alameda to fund creative music programming.

The band’s latest album, \u003cb>Panorama\u003c/b>, came out October 12, 2010 on \u003ca href=\"http://www.spune.com/birds-batteries/\">Spune\u003c/a>/\u003ca href=\"http://www.velvetbluemusic.com/v3/releases.php\">Velvet Blue Music\u003c/a>, and finds the quartet reincorporating some of the alt-country/Americana elements that weren’t present on 2009’s funky, synth-focused \u003cb>Up To No Good\u003c/b> EP. This is Birds & Batteries the rock band, with compelling guitar hooks and a heartfelt twang complimenting bandleader Mike Sempert’s thoughtful lyrics. The layers demonstrate Sempert’s skill as a sonic craftsman, committed to transforming the unique melding of sounds into winning, honest music. Lucky for him (and us), he’s surrounded by bandmates with the talent and determination to pull it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The Bay Bridged\u003c/b> sat down with Mike and and Jill to discuss the long process of crafting \u003cb>Panorama\u003c/b>, and the band’s mixture of electronic and acoustic elements.

"content": "\u003cp>In the days before the first Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in 2001, founder Warren Hellman had a recurring thought in his head: “I wondered if anybody would show up.” Hellman admits this now. Admits it with a laugh that comes from knowing how differently it turned out. Thousands attended in 2001, and last year in Golden Gate Park, around three-quarters-of-a-million people thronged to the three-day festival. This year’s event, which is Friday through Sunday, may be even larger. There’s no other festival like it in America — no other musical cavalcade that offers such eclectic performances in an inspired outdoor setting for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;margin: 10px\" src=\"http://a.s.kqed.net/img/arts/blog/gillianwelch.jpg\" alt=\"gillian welch\">Singer Gillian Welch, a staple of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, has a theory that (partly) explains why musicians love performing at the festival and why Hardly Strictly audiences are so enthusiastic. “I think it’s because a free festival puts (the audience) in a different head space,” Welch says by phone from Nashville, before flying to San Francisco to perform this Saturday. “Nobody is trying to get their money’s worth. There’s no burden of expectations — that ‘I bought this ticket, and I hope I have a good time.’ If you’re not having a good time, you split. It’s a great thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s “great thing” features (as usual) a lineup of artists that seems almost too good to be true. On Friday, it includes Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs (performing as The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue), Patty Griffin and T Bone Burnett. On Saturday, it’s Welch, Joan Baez, Steve Earle, Kinky Friedman, Jonathan Richman, Richard Thompson, the David Grisman Quintet, and Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs. On Sunday comes Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson and David Holt, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Rosanne Cash, Randy Newman, and Patti Smith. More than 80 performances will be crammed into 22 hours of playing time across six stages — a dizzying pace that, with the massive crowds, can be overwhelming to the neophyte attendee. Hellman’s advice: “Don’t try to go from stage to stage. Just take one stage” and stay there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, a stage to inhabit is the Banjo Stage, where Welch, Baez, Grisman and Earle all play. Welch, who has performed six previous times at Hellman’s festival, embodies the appeal of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. She sings what could be called New American Roots Music — music that takes the traditions of bluegrass, folk, country and Appalachian, and funnels them through contemporary lyrics, slow guitar riffs, and a voice with an unmistakable twang (even though she was raised in Southern California and went to college at UC Santa Cruz). Welch’s songs are instantly recognizable, and full of narratives about relationships and feelings, good and bad. People relate passionately to Welch’s albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like you can only talk about in a song what you’re experiencing, and what you’re dealing with, and what’s in your head,” Welch says, adding that her songs incorporate “an extreme range of emotions. My whole palette is meticulously subtle. I see things in microscopic shades . . . Someone said to me recently, ‘Just have fun. I’m hope you’re having fun. That’s what it’s all about.’ While I appreciated that, that’s not what it’s all about. I am trying to be creative (with my work). So, I’m sorry, that’s not what it’s all about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Welch says she’s enjoying a new phase of her career – a re-appreciation of the duet format that she forged with guitarist David Rawlings. Welch just completed a new album with just her and Rawlings, after a few years of collaborations with bigger assemblages, saying, “I really didn’t think it was possible to make a slower record than I made in the past, but I may have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At her set on Saturday (scheduled for 4:20pm), Welch says she’ll likely perform songs from such previous albums as \u003cstrong>Time (The Relvelator)\u003c/strong>. It’s also possible that Hellman will make an appearance with Welch since he’s an active banjo player — so active that, since 2006, he has played at every Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, with his group called The Wronglers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The musicians love Hellman (“he’s an extraordinary man; I just think the world of him,” Welch says) and he loves them. Hellman is someone who would have to be called a genuine San Francisco character: A Harvard-educated billionaire who co-founded an investment firm (Hellman & Friedman LLC, where he’s a managing director); served as president of one of America’s most notable financial companies (Lehman Brothers); and sits on the advisory board of UC Berkeley’s Walter A. Haas School of Business — yet gives away millions to pay for a festival that doesn’t have his name attached. Whether that’s good business sense doesn’t matter to Hellman, who is in his 70s and jokes about his potential legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would I rather be remembered for (the festival) or some initial public offering we did when I was an investment banker?” he says. “People keep saying, ‘You’re really a philanthropist.’ I say, ‘You know what that is — it’s a cross between a misanthrope and a philanderer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning more serious, Hellman says he has always loved American roots music, especially banjo music. “Something just resonates, and you feel transported — not by my music but someone like Earl Scruggs,” he says of the Southern banjo player who has been acclaimed for 60 years. “I feel I could listen to that music forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the new groups that Hellman recommends seeing at this year’s festival is the Ebony Hillbillies (Friday, 2pm), who bill themselves as “one of the last black string bands in the U.S.” A promoter discovered the band playing for change at Manhattan’s Grand Central Station terminal, and since then, the group has performed at venues around the country. “They have great energy,” Hellman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTSDd7EZzOc&fs=1&hl=en_US]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hellman will bring his own energy to his performance with The Wronglers on Saturday (11am), and to his speech at Sunday night’s closing, when he says he’ll talk about the power of music — of a festival like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass — to unite people of all different backgrounds, in contrast to the mid-term elections that are weeks away. “I wish the U.S. were like Speedway Meadow,” Hellman says, referring to one of the spots in Golden Gate Park where the festival is being staged. “Hundreds of thousands of people appreciating each other, saying, ‘We’re going to treat each other with kindness.’ . . . A musician doesn’t say, ‘Don’t go to that other stage; don’t listen to her.’ “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hellman, who was once a stalwart of the Republican Party and is now a self-professed decline-to-state, says his involvement with the festival helped steer him to a more undefined political position. “I’ve met business people and politicians I’ve never liked, but I’ve never met a musician I’ve never not liked,” he says. “I’d rather know Earl Scruggs than the president of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival is Friday, October 1 through Sunday, October 3, 2010 at the west end of Golden Gate Park, between Transverse Drive and Spreckels Lake, overlapping Speedway Meadow, Lindley Meadow and Marx Meadow.

Whether that’s good business sense doesn’t matter to Hellman, who is in his 70s and jokes about his potential legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would I rather be remembered for (the festival) or some initial public offering we did when I was an investment banker?” he says. “People keep saying, ‘You’re really a philanthropist.’ I say, ‘You know what that is — it’s a cross between a misanthrope and a philanderer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning more serious, Hellman says he has always loved American roots music, especially banjo music. “Something just resonates, and you feel transported — not by my music but someone like Earl Scruggs,” he says of the Southern banjo player who has been acclaimed for 60 years. “I feel I could listen to that music forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the new groups that Hellman recommends seeing at this year’s festival is the Ebony Hillbillies (Friday, 2pm), who bill themselves as “one of the last black string bands in the U.S.” A promoter discovered the band playing for change at Manhattan’s Grand Central Station terminal, and since then, the group has performed at venues around the country. “They have great energy,” Hellman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/UTSDd7EZzOc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/UTSDd7EZzOc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hellman will bring his own energy to his performance with The Wronglers on Saturday (11am), and to his speech at Sunday night’s closing, when he says he’ll talk about the power of music — of a festival like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass — to unite people of all different backgrounds, in contrast to the mid-term elections that are weeks away. “I wish the U.S. were like Speedway Meadow,” Hellman says, referring to one of the spots in Golden Gate Park where the festival is being staged. “Hundreds of thousands of people appreciating each other, saying, ‘We’re going to treat each other with kindness.’ . . . A musician doesn’t say, ‘Don’t go to that other stage; don’t listen to her.’ “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hellman, who was once a stalwart of the Republican Party and is now a self-professed decline-to-state, says his involvement with the festival helped steer him to a more undefined political position. “I’ve met business people and politicians I’ve never liked, but I’ve never met a musician I’ve never not liked,” he says. “I’d rather know Earl Scruggs than the president of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
