Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the name. Because it stopped being strictly bluegrass over the years.
You're really not missing anything. It was great at first, but now is so crowded that you can't hear the most popular performers. Dolly played there last year and we had to push our way to the front to hear, missing 1/2 the show. I think they should start charging admission; that would eliminate all the people that come just because it is a "happening" and wind up talking the whole time.
However, I have been able to catch some amazing performances on the smaller stages. I saw the Drive By Truckers this year and loved them, and also caught a riveting acoustic performance by Richard Thompson.
