For 20 years Northwest String Summit has been a mainstay in the festival scene of the Pacific Northwest. Yonder Mountain String Band started the festival all those years ago and saw fit to move it here to Horning's Hideout. In the years that followed many now famous (and infamous) bluegrass acts cut their teeth at this festival and year after year fans came back for more creating a tight knit community.

This week on No Simple Road we continue our journey at Northwest String Summit 2022 with part 2 of this 2 part series. This being the last year of the festival we wanted to focus less on the bands and more on the community, the stories, the people that have worked hard to create the scene so many of us enjoy. It's our hope that as you listen to this week's episode you'll feel all the feelings along with us as we embark on this bittersweet 4 day run.

We start this episode with Yonder Mountain String Band absolutely killing it on stage the last night of the festival followed with commentary, stories, and an interview with the incredible band 'Never Come Down'. Then, we were lucky enough to catch up with the one and only 'Artist Whisperer' Annabel Lukins for a little conversation. Finally, we take it all home with more stories from the community and the final tear-filled song played on the Main Stage on Sunday night by Yonder.
