If you don’t believe in reincarnation, try listening to Caleb Klauder's music. There's little other explanation for why a small-island Washingtonian can write, play, and sing music that sounds like it should be rolling out of a Great Depression

Danny Barnes
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and genre-bending artists of his craft, Barnes' musical interests are both varied and adventurous, and he incorporates that versatility into a progressive approach to an instrument that is musically polarizing and steeped in tradition.
more...Polecat
Formed in Bellingham, Washington in March 2010, Polecat has quickly established itself in the Northwest, with two records and over 100 shows in one year. This enables them to seamlessly blend genres including bluegrass, country, celtic, rock, and world music into their sound.
more...Spare Rib and the Bluegrass Sauce
Formed in 2005, Spare Rib & the Bluegrass Sauce brings its own special blend of groove-grass to the Northwest. Their wide range of styles will get you hootin', hollerin' and stompin' all night long.
more...The Local Strangers
With powerful vocals and intricate harmonies, their poignant, honest, and relatable songwriting has distinguished them in the Americana/alt-country scene. They thrive on stage in an energetic display of passion.
more...Buzz Brump
After years of freestyling music and words on riverbeds, beaches, ski lifts, porches and garages, Buzz Brümp was formed in 2010 to spread good vibes through their music.
more...Pickled Okra
This stringband from Seattle Washington breathes new life into a classic genre with fresh ideas and pure family charm. Conceived in 2006 by a husband and wife team, the band’s sound was born out of the couple's mutual love of eras gone by.
more...Nettle Honey
We circled to the left and back to the right,
Drank from the jug till the broad daylight,
Promenaded till we got home,
Swung someone and called em our own.
The Wild and Scenic Institute
Our mission is to provide environmental education and outdoor recreation to special needs children in the Greater Seattle area. We develop physical and emotional confidence in these youth who due to their physical, cultural, or financial barriers would not otherwise have this opportunity.
"As these kids traveled to the Skagit River to learn about spawning salmon and wintering bald eagles, it became apparent that they were learning even more about themselves."more...
