At the first fest, she felt like “such a noob,” worried that she would stick out amongst the other more established artists. But as the day went on, Jetter was surprised at how many fellow comics lovers and creators approached her to offer support, encouragement and collaboration. Now, every time she returns, it “feels like a family reunion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BCAF was sparked by a conversation between comic book artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.johnjenningsstudio.com/\">John Jennings\u003c/a> and NorCalMLK Foundation executive director \u003ca href=\"https://norcalmlkfoundation.org/people/aaron-grizzell/\">Aaron Grizzell\u003c/a> as they sat for a meal in the summer of 2014.

Fans waited restlessly outside the Warehouse Stage, and at one point on Saturday, they flooded security, climbing up banisters and rushing through lines to catch popular acts inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The many issues led to discontentment with festival organizers Goldenvoice (the same company that puts on Coachella), with \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2022/09/25/photos-portola-festival-debuts-with-spectacular-shows-but-very-messy-crowd-management/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fans drawing attention to safety concerns\u003c/a>.

But when it opened on Sept. 24, things quickly turned hectic. Bottles and cans littered the ground at San Francisco’s Pier 80, and the sounds of them being crushed and kicked became synonymous with the rush of crowds. Fans waited restlessly outside the Warehouse Stage, and at one point on Saturday, they flooded security, climbing up banisters and rushing through lines to catch popular acts inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The many issues led to discontentment with festival organizers Goldenvoice (the same company that puts on Coachella), with \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2022/09/25/photos-portola-festival-debuts-with-spectacular-shows-but-very-messy-crowd-management/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fans drawing attention to safety concerns\u003c/a>.

When she opened her set with “Pang,” she grandly swept her arms up as she sang, creating an atmosphere of dreamy vocalizations and harmonies.

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. Crutchfield returns to the Bay Area next month with Plains, her project with Jess Williamson, playing \u003ca href=\"https://folkyeah.com/#/plains-katie-crutchfield-jess-williamson-sonoma-1024\">Sonoma\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.axs.com/events/442689/plains-featuring-katie-crutchfield-from-waxahatchee-and-jess-williamso-tickets\">San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U89BGcn_AOs\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/arooj-aftab/\">Arooj Aftab\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sunday 12:30-1:15pm\u003cbr>\nRooster Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in Saudi Arabia to parents from Pakistan, Grammy Award-winning vocalist Arooj Aftab applies her training in Hindustani classical music to a sumptuous array of settings for Urdu poetry. 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. Steeped in gospel and inspired by blues, rock and hip-hop, she sings with sanctified authority and hard-knock knowledge gleaned from personal experience. Before Hardly Strictly she also headlines \u003ca href=\"https://moesalley.com/event-details/12402625/-folkyeah-presents-danielle-ponder-with-special-guests/\">Sept. 29 at Moe’s Alley\u003c/a> in Santa Cruz and opens for Marcus Mumford \u003ca href=\"https://concerts.livenation.com/marcus-mumford-san-francisco-california-10-01-2022/event/1C005D0AF94E4173?_ga=2.239581635.1978444917.1663717476-386014478.1663717475\">Sept. 30 at the Fillmore\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EWY6W5jkSs\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/artist/dashawn-hickman/\">DaShawn Hickman with Charlie Hunter\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sunday 1:25-2pm\u003cbr>\nBandwagon Stage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A master of the Sacred Steel tradition, DaShawn Hickman was a founding member of The Allen Boys, a group that took the rollicking music powering Pentecostal Holiness services in North Carolina out of the church and on the road. 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.
