MUSIC FESTIVALS

Martina · 03-02-2011, 08:05 AM

i used to go to a fair number although i am not a huge fan. i don't like the crowds, and seeing an artist you love perform a shorter set feels like a tease. But i do plan to get to hardly strictly bluegrass one of these days here in the bay area.

i have been to a lot of bluegrass festivals. i also recommend them with one caveat. They tend to be -- or used to be -- white events. A person of color attending can attract attention. But these were rural festivals. That may not be true of bigger ones.
