Come Camp With Your Friends!

This summer, the Outlanders are setting up camp in the shadow of Whitehorse Mountain for a full weekend of music, community, and mischief at the legendary Darrington Bluegrass Festival. Welcome to the Outlanders Outpost—our all-weekend hangout, jam zone, workshop hub, and all-around good-time generator.

Whether you’re rolling in with a fiddle, a floatie, or just a love for good tunes and better company, there’s a place for you at the Outpost.

Handcrafted in Sisters, Oregon, Thompson Guitars are among the most sought-after instruments in bluegrass and acoustic music. Known for their impeccable tone, vintage-inspired builds, and dedication to quality, Thompson guitars have found their way into the hands of legendary pickers and rising stars alike. We’re honored to have their support at the Outpost—there’s no better sound ringing through the trees.

From their revolutionary Heli-Mount system to their stunning custom builds, Nechville crafts instruments that play effortlessly and push the boundaries of what a banjo can be. We’re thrilled to partner with Nechville to bring their cutting-edge craftsmanship to our community of pickers.
