Music critics and fans alike have long droned on about the inability of musical road warriors – concert-focused bands like Tea Leaf Green – to produce a decent studio listen. While that onus doesn't apply to every album in the cosmos, it definitely applies to Tea Leaf Green's Looking West.

It was a beautiful way to end the weekend; The Steve Miller Band, Los Lobos, both on the same stage, at one of Los Angeles’ most beautiful venues. Both bands captivated their audiences with their own takes on pop and roots music.

The other performers of Lilith Fair joined Sarah McLachlan for a cover of Patti Smith’s rocking hit, “Because the Night.” At the closing of this event, it all seemed to come together nicely. The tour may not be as popular or as dynamic as it once was, but it still carried McLachlan’s vision of celebrating women in music.

String Cheese Incident @ Horning’s Hideout, July 30
Words: Jason Gershuny
With the opening ceremonies behind us, the Horning’s Hideout festival fully hit its stride on Friday afternoon with workshops of all types and multiple stages locked into different pockets of diverse music. A couple of notable workshops included an audience participation drum session with the Toubab Krewe and 50 audience members on their own drums as well as a couple of different morning yoga sessions that have participants stretched out all over the expansive lawn by the Caldara Stage at the scenic site.

Musically, we were treated to a wide range of styles that spanned from the soothing Americana sound of Bill Nershi and Scott Law, who showed off some of their acoustic and songwriting chops, to a funky-soul infused dance party of the Pimps of Joytime and lots of styles in between. The groove of the Pimps’ set closer, Keep that Music Playing, virtually created its own dust cloud formation that rose high above the Saw Mill Stage.

Yet even with all of these incredible daytime options, the real reason most honed in on this wooded paradise is for the Northwest’s first taste of String Cheese Incident in three years. And man were the fans ready for this one.
SCI opened up with the always apropos Smile which through the years has almost become a Horning’s Hideout theme song. The first set really got going when SCI launched into Born on the Wrong Planet, which with some of the intergalactic getups that folks were adorned in – one may just have to agree. An extended version of Paul Simon’s Under African Skies followed which led to the rare treat of the infrequently played Climb. The funky dance party of Miss Brown’s Teahouse brought out the Soul Rebels Brass Band to close the set. It was great to add a little New Orleans spice to the delicious mix of music.

Good afternoon wishes from the heart of the wooded wondrous wilderness of Horning’s Hideout. This incredible festival hosted by the String Cheese Incident is off and running and is cruising along at full speed. Words can’t properly describe the true depth of the artistic collaboration of all forms that join together to create a brilliant and organic ambiance palpable throughout this wooded paradise.
This year’s festival has evolved to include: multiple ornately decorated stages chock full of all sorts of styles and perspectives of music, informative workshops and discussion panels that bring issues like “Activism in the Music Industry”, and “Being Honest with Your Kids” to light, and artistic pockets of creations throughout the woods that the adventurous explorer may come across with just a little wandering spirit. You could even find yourself surrounded by a mossy wooded backdrop and a southing flowing stream deep in the woods with a world famous Voodoo doughnut in your hand from the Cascadia coffee house. There is so much to see and do here, that the term eye candy may need to be revamped to all five sense candy just to be fair to all of your senses.
Thursday’s at Horning’s Hideout in past years has been a day to greet friends, set up camp and ground oneself to prepare for the upcoming party with less of a focus on big stage music. This year was different, and on behalf of all the music lovers in the crowd, I thank you for it. To kick things off we had four sets of String Cheese Incident side projects that got the party fully started a day early. READ ON for more of Jason’s thoughts & Ben’s pictures…
