We ventured north early on Friday for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and were treated to a cornucopia of musical magic.  We rolled through fine sets by John C. Reilly, Tom Brosseau and Becky Stark, Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express, Beachwood Sparks, Ben Kweller, Jenny Lewis (with the Watson Twins) and Conor Oberst (photos and reviews to follow).  But in addition to the usual scintillating sounds, the attendees are always well worth perusing.  And such was the case during the first half of Beachwood Sparks’ set, when a young lass garnered the entire Rooster Crowd’s attention with her freestyle dancing to Beachwood’s pedal steel-accented song.  Sweetness.  So great to be here again.
