Northwest String Summit
North Plains, OR: Horning's Hideout
Info:
The Northwest's premier acoustic music festival returns for its seventh year to beautiful Hornings Hideout in North Plains, Oregon, on July 18 - 20, 2008. The event boasts three days of nearly all-acoustic music, culminating each night with main stage performances from musical hosts Yonder Mountain String Band, this year joined by special guest fiddler Darol Anger (David Grisman Quintet, Psychograss). Always a String Summit highlight, past years Super Jam performers have included David Grisman, Vasser Clements, Hot Rize, Jerry Douglas and Tim OBrien. On Friday evening, String Summit presents the sixth annual Band Contest, where four competition finalists will compete for the opportunity to perform on the main stage the following year. The tree-lined landscape of Hornings Hideout is the perfect serene setting for an intimate weekend of all acoustic music. Located just 20 minutes west of Portland and nestled in a hidden canyon of the rolling hills, dense trees and peacocks, Hornings Hideout is truly one of Oregons best kept secrets. All ages are welcome and children under 10 years old are free with a paying adult. Three-day festival passes include music, crafts and vending, and plenty of on-site camping and parking. A family/disabled camping area is available. Tickets are $95 - $150.00 including camping/parking.
Artists:
Three nights of Yonder Mountain String Band, Great American Taxi (featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon), Head for the Hills (2007 Band Contest Co-Winners), more bands TBA!
