It’s been a big month for Phil Salazar & the Kin Folk, a California bluegrass favorite in both their native Southern Cal and Northern California festival favorites. Not only did they release a single and video called Shady Groove which is a progressive re-make of the legendary old-time tune Shady Grove with legendary Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, but they also have been invited to play at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco. The band, making its first appearance at the festival will be playing Saturday, October 1 at 11 AM on the Porch Stage.
“I’ve been playing and have recorded Shady Grove for forty years, one day, just daydreaming I came up with this groovy arrangement and decided to record it. It was so cool I decided to shoot this video and was thrilled to get Bobby to play on it”
