Curly Seckler will be appearing with The David Grisman Experience in San Francisco at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. Curly is a pioneer of Bluegrass and a personal favorite. He played with Flatt and Scruggs, Lester Flatt and the Nashville Grass, as well as fronting his own band for many years.

Of interesting note (especially to mandolin players and historians), David Grisman was recently able to purchase Curly Seckler’s old F-2 Gibson mandolin - the instrument Curly played all through his tenure with the Foggy Mountain Boys! It is being restored by Gibson and may be ready in time for the festival.
