Music festivals usually go hand in hand with summertime. But band booking and promotion company Artist Home’s summer festivals (including the boutique Doe Bay Fest on Orcas Island and Timber! Outdoor Music Festival in Carnation) have been so successful that organizer Kevin Sur decided to re-create the magic in the off-season, and in 2014, Timbrrr! began in the picture-postcard mountain village of Leavenworth.
This year’s lineup, in several venues around the area, including Festhalle, features Seattle R&B darling Parisalexa, soul nine-piece The True Loves with a tribute to Aretha Franklin, Carissa’s Wierd singer-songwriter Jenn Champion, Sub Pop’s Kyle Craft and many others. The family-friendly weekend also offers ticket and accommodations packages, drop-off child care, a sledding outing and more. (And a hot toddy garden, naturally.) 1/25–1/26. Times, prices and venues vary. Leavenworth, winter.timbermusicfest.com

Less About Nostalgia, More About The Music
Seeing a favorite band takes you back, but it’s about so much more
While waiting to enter the Earth, Wind & Fire/Chicago double bill at Climate Pledge Arena recently, I asked a stranger if they used to be a big fan of the bands. “What do you mean ‘used to be?’” he said. “I know every Earth, Wind & Fire song there is.” That’s truly impressive if true,
