This year’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival didn’t really feature that much bluegrass, but this week’s episode of Austin City Limits focuses on some of the best traditional style performances from last October’s festival.
Check out this weekend’s special edition of ACL to see Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Earl Scruggs and plenty of other legends showing off their skills.
