7th October 2018 at Golden Gate Park (Banjo Stage), San Francisco, CA.
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (free annual festival),
www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/2018/.
Country: United States. Style: Country Music.
Lineup: Emmylou Harris (v/g), Will Kimbrough (g/v), Eamon McLaughlin (fiddle/mandolin), Phil Madeira (keyboard/piano accordion/g/v), Chris Donahue (b/bass g), Bryan Owing (d) and guest: Steve Fishell (pedal steel g).
I took photos of Emmylou Harris in London in 2014 (

Several of them were in the group when I saw her with the Red Dirt Boys in 2008 and 2011 (Maderia, Donahue and Owens both times and Kimbrough once). They were joined for part of their set by Steve Fishell, the Hot Band steel guitarist in the 1980s. I saw Eamon McLoughlin three times during HSB, the others were with Rodney Crowell and a guest appearance with the Flatlanders.
