On July 17-19, Northwest String Summit will partner with Live From Out Here to present ‘Hiding Out At Home,’ a virtual festival event. The broadcast will feature “live, remote, and archival sets from festival favorites including Yonder Mountain String Band, Greensky Bluegrass, Del & Dawg, and more.” (Quote via press release.) The organizers have shared the final lineup for the virtual event.
“The intent of this project is to co-create something NEW and exciting alongside—albeit 6ft apart—many of our Kinfolk and industry family; something that will help, in our own way, ease some pains and frustrations of the current state of affairs through art, music and virtual community,” say festival organizers in a statement regarding this year’s Northwest String Summit live stream (via press release). “It is an understatement to say that it is tough to see the beautiful brothers and sisters of the music industry—crew and artists—struggle so much without income, gigs, and only a few outlets of expression. This stream is for them! Much of the money raised by the Virtual NWSS will go back to the artists and crew of our event and industry. By doing so we feel we've created a beautifully unique product that truly captures the energetic essence of NWSS at Horning's Hideout. We believe that you will feel much of the same love, excitement, and community as is if you were actually there...with a little less dust.”
Live performers will include Yonder Mountain String Band, Paul Hoffman & Dave Bruzza of Greensky Bluegrass, Jay Cobb Anderson & Kellen Asebroek (Fruition) and many more. Brendan Bayliss will deliver a remote performance, as will Rick Mitarotonda and Peter Anspach of Goose. The event will also feature various archival broadcasts. See the complete breakdown of the lineup below!
