On this week’s episode of SMI Radio, we welcome back two of the festival organizers, Kevin Sur and Phil O’Sullivan, to update us on some of the cool happenings at Timber! 2013. You will hear featured music from the participating artists and they talk specifically about some of the activities that make their event much more than just another music festival.

Timber! will feature the brilliant Andrew Joslyn and his Passenger String Quartet. Andrew has been a busy man of late working with several prominent Northwest artists. Recently Joslyn could be seen on stage with the likes of Duff McKagen, The Local Strangers. His lovely string arrangements can be heard on the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis mega-hit album, The Heist. I recently caught up with Andrew at one of my favorite interview spots in The Emerald City. You will hear that conversation as well as some tracks that Andrew lent his talents to.
