Timber! Outdoor Music Festival is more than a long lineup of bands. Timber! is an experience that could only happen in the Pacific Northwest. It's a festival that brings the audience outdoors, wrapping them in the lush forests and rivers of our home. Attendees at Timber! will do much more than listen to music. They'll hike, camp, swim, bike, run, kayak, and even stargaze on the sprawling grounds of King County's Tolt MacDonald Park (40 min from downtown Seattle).

Crowd-pleasing has never been any sort of issue for the Virginia Born prog-grass quintet Infamous Stringdusters. Every crowd seems simply enamored with their boisterous stage presence, aggressively cunning musicianship, and true accessibility.

They’re seemingly traditional but stylistically inexplicable.

Upon entering George’s Majestic Lounge on Sunday night I noticed something in the air. It wasn’t smoke, because you can’t smoke in George’s. But there was something else hovering in the spaces between us humans. Music wafted from the back room – a folk duo picking at stringed instruments and harmonizing light Arkansas accents. The venue was buzzing with old friends and new faces, happy hearts and big smiles. Elephant Revival was in town – a cause for celebration. And a celebration it was.
