Sawtooth Valley Gathering 7.28 & 7.29.17

Sawtooth Valley Pioneer Park Stanley, ID Words by Mitch Melheim Photos by Coleman Schwartz Media Located in the breathtaking Sawtooth Range of the Rocky Mountains, Sawtooth Valley Gathering is one of the more beautiful festivals I’ve ever been to. Jagged cliffs flank one side of the grounds as desert hills roll alongside the other. Streams and rivers can be seen in every direction, each of which make for great places to take a quick dip in between sets. The market, grocery store, and bar (where late night shows are held) are only a short walk from your campsite, just beyond the ice cream shop and several restaurants you pass on your way down the hill. Of course, the beauty and convenience aren’t all that make this a wonderful festival. Their keen ear for booking rising acts and the wholesome vibe they curate solidify it as one of the best small festivals in the Northwest. Friday, July 28, 2017: Bamboozle began the festivities on the main stage, providing a plethora of funky

Sigh in July: A Southeast Summer Oasis 7.21 - 7.22.17

Live Wire Athens, GA Words & Photos by Julie Hutchins ( Tipping Point Designs ) Sigh in July is a musical oasis for the summer music drought in Athens, GA. Primarily a college town, Athens becomes a sleepy place when the students leave. Universal Sigh uses this magical time to curate Sigh in July. In the past, Universal Sigh were frequent summertime residents on the Georgia Theatre Rooftop. The weekly residencies allowed Sigh to open their catalogue for hardcore “disighples” and attracted touring bands eager to meet heady southeast peeps. These residencies left US asking, “How do we incorporate more of our friends in our summertime get down?” Now, in its 2nd year, Sigh in July hosts regional and national touring bands, artists, and vendors! I have the pleasure of being involved with SIJ from the very beginning and it is truly incredible to watch the steady growth of the southeast music community. Sunny South Blues Band and Moon Chief opened the festival with a bounty of so

Northwest String Summit 7.13 - 7.16.17

Horning's Hideout North Plains, OR Words by Mitch Melheim Photos by Coleman Schwartz Media While sixteen years of hosting a festival in the same location is quite the feat, it becomes less of a surprise after just one weekend spent pickin’ and grinnin’ at Horning’s Hideout. The dust, the “bowl,” “bubbles”… All things which make little sense to most people, but illustrate a weekend in bluegrass paradise for others. A paradise that is sure to include plenty of Yonder Mountain String Band, some Saturday late night funk, and multiple nights of Greensky Bluegrass; a recipe for success no matter the location. Thursday July 13, 2017: The Lil’ Smokies were the first band to grace the main stage this year, otherwise referred to as the “bowl” due to it being, well, a bowl. A bowl lined with trees and a flat dirt pit that is ripe for kicking up some dust. The Smokies impressed yet again. I’ve really enjoyed the added energy in their sound since last year’s addition of Jake Simpso
