But if you’re inclined to do a little wandering between the festival’s four stages, one of the prime pleasures of the festival comes from checking out unfamiliar artists, whether a rising star or a veteran performer trying out a new combo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways Hardly Strictly is more than a festival.

Her relaxed phrasing and becalmed delivery hints at the deep currents flowing through her music, which slows the passage of time with ripples of self-revelation. Her name means “truth” in Sanskrit, but Satya offers hints and clues rather than a road map, inviting listeners along as she finds her way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHbl6zhO3wo\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/joy-oladokun/\">Joy Oladokun\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday 3:55-4:45pm\u003cbr>\nTowers of Gold Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A first-generation Nigerian-American singer/songwriter, Joy Oladokun creates music from her perspective as a queer Black woman who’s absorbed the forthright stance of artists like Tracy Chapman and Joan Armatrading. Raised in Arizona and now based in Los Angeles, she’s staked an early claim as one of the decade’s artists to watch with two albums that brim with confidence, vulnerability, and righteous melodic invention: 2020’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness (the beginnings)\u003c/em> and 2021’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvie5df0SP8\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/charley-crockett/\">Charley Crockett\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday 5:45-7pm\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Towers of Gold Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often cast as polar idioms, country music and the blues share deep roots that the best country artists manifest clearly. With his telegraphic storytelling and dry humor, Charley Crockett embodies the blues aesthetic that hard times are best endured by turning tribulation into a communal exorcism. He’s a dauntingly prolific artist who’s released a diverse array of material on 11 albums since 2015, including a simmering new project, \u003cem>The Man from Waco\u003c/em>, that feels like an homage to Johnny Cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JygS9kX-kak\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/cedric-watson/\">Cedric Watson\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Banjo Stage\u003cbr>\nSaturday 11-11:45am\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fiddler, singer, accordionist and songwriter Cedric Watson is a leading force in the revival of Creole and Acadian roots music, drawing on centuries-old songs spread by the French and Spanish empires and rhythms brought to the Caribbean by enslaved West Africans. Part of what makes Watson such a dynamic artist is that he’s both a deep scholar and a prolific songwriter who carries traditional forms into the 21\u003csup>st\u003c/sup> century, mixing and melding influences as he sees fit. He also performs at the festival afterparty \u003ca href=\"https://www.ashkenaz.com/events-backend/cedric-watson-a-hardly-strictly-bluegrass-afterparty\">Oct. 1 at Ashkenaz\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEtoiqy0VGo\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/aj-lee-and-blue-summit/\">AJ Lee & Blue Summit\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saturday 1:30-2:10pm\u003cbr>\nBandwagon Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A product of the Bay Area’s verdant bluegrass music scene, guitarist, mandolinist and vocalist AJ Lee was still in her mid-teens when she started performing with Blue Summit in 2015. Now a road-seasoned act, the band released an impressive second album last year with \u003cem>I’ll Come Back\u003c/em>, featuring Sullivan Tuttle and Scott Gates on steel string guitars, fiddler Jan Purat and bassist Chad Bowen. Bluegrass is still a major source of inspiration for the group, but their sound now draws on a wider constellation of acoustic idioms, fitting comfortably under the Americana umbrella while avoiding many of the attendant clichés.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEyYlyRr2_U\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/waxahatchee/\">Waxahatchee\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saturday 3:55-4:55pm\u003cbr>\nBanjo Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Named after a creek that runs close to her childhood home in Alabama, Katie Crutchfield’s solo project Waxahatchee has become a major outlet for her songwriting in recent years. She’s released a series of trenchant, critically acclaimed albums over the past decade, but 2020’s \u003cem>Saint Cloud\u003c/em> found her in particularly harrowing territory, a sojourn inspired by her determination to attain sobriety.

A brilliant improviser who’s collaborated with leading jazz musicians like pianist Vijay Iyer, she’s crafted her own mesmerizing sound, drawing on love-besotted ghazals and minimalist patterns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC5UBAoa6nw\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/danielle-ponder/\">Danielle Ponder\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sunday 1:20-2pm\u003cbr>\nPorch Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since leaving her job as a public defender in upstate New York, powerhouse vocalist Danielle Ponder has emerged as a clarion artist whose songs tackle knotty territory without compromising melodic force.

Teaming up with Charlie Hunter, the jazz-meets-funk guitarist who contributed to influential albums by D’Angelo and A Tribe Called Quest, Hickman recorded the stellar album \u003cem>Drums, Roots & Steel\u003c/em> for Little Village Foundation, a project that ushers the Sacred Steel sound into celebratory secular settings. A Berkeley native based in North Carolina, Hunter is also in town with SuperBlue, his hip-hop-inflected collaboration with jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, playing Menlo Park’s \u003ca href=\"https://guildtheatre.com/events/superblue-kurt-elling-ft-charlie-hunter-9-27-22/\">Guild Theater Sept. 27\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://secure.thefreight.org/11472/kurt-elling-charlie-hunter\">Freight & Salvage Sept. 30\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RzaRh6E6bY\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/the-whitmore-sisters/\">The Whitmore Sisters\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sunday 4:55-5:40pm\u003cbr>\nPorch Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleanor Whitmore has long been known for her work with her husband Chris Masterson in The Mastersons, but after being grounded by the pandemic she teamed up with her younger sister Bonnie to renew their musical relationship in the Whitmore Sisters.

Raised in Arizona and now based in Los Angeles, she’s staked an early claim as one of the decade’s artists to watch with two albums that brim with confidence, vulnerability, and righteous melodic invention: 2020’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness (the beginnings)\u003c/em> and 2021’s \u003cem>in defense of my own happiness\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\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/zvie5df0SP8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/zvie5df0SP8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/charley-crockett/\">Charley Crockett\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday 5:45-7pm\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Towers of Gold Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often cast as polar idioms, country music and the blues share deep roots that the best country artists manifest clearly.

After all, it’s difficult to glean much enjoyment from watching female characters getting treated terribly by the men in their midst for 160 minutes, only to have everything wrapped up in a neat little bow in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s production by the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival however, promises to be a more palatable take on a dated classic. With a distinctly ’90s aesthetic, a run time of just 90 minutes (no intermission) and modernized versions of familiar characters, this \u003cem>Much Ado\u003c/em> promises something a little different from more traditional productions. Think: Beatrice in lip-liner and a dog collar, a grunge rendition of “Sigh No More” and Benedick out participating in protest marches.
