It’s the weekend, Sitch readers! And what exciting plans do you have in order? We’re actually en route to New York City to scope out the bluegrass and Americana scene on the east coast…. do you have any suggestions of venues or bands we absolutely can’t miss?
In case you missed it on our Facebook or Twitter feeds, here are our five favorite things from this past week:

• This recap of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival (via Twang Nation)
• A Chinese twist on traditional bluegrass
• Great news for the quickly shifting Americana and roots genres (via Entertainment Weekly)
