The festival will feature new and returning artists, with 45 acts over three days, September 11-13. All artists are scheduled to play at least twice — many three times — to optimize the opportu- nity to see as much music as possible. The festival will run eight stages Friday night starting at 6 p.m., with 10 stages Saturday and Sunday throughout Sisters, where “All the Town’s a Stage.” “Our model is unique — the charm of the town and its residents play a big part in the festival experience,” says Creative Director Brad Tisdel. “We want to show- case the music foremost, but also the town of Sisters and the natural beauty of the area. In a unique festival experi- ence, patrons and audience- members enjoy strolling through beautiful downtown Sisters and seeing world- class live music in everything from large tents to intimate venues. I think our patrons enjoy the businesses, food, and overall vibe and atmo- sphere very much.” Festival artists include: The Subdudes, a New Orleans blues-rock and soul band; the 2014 encore artist Eric Bibb; songwriter Tift Merritt; and last year’s crowd favorites Darlingside. Additionally, festival organizers are proud to bring Session Americana; Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards; Ryan Montbleau, Mandolin Orange; The Bills; Shinyribs; Gretchen Peters; Zydeco master Andre Thierry; hit songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman; Canadian roots band New Country Rehab; Liz Longley; Australian songwriter Jordie Lane, and many more. This year the festival is expanding its workshop offerings to include 20 work- shops throughout the week- end. These will be informal performances with a Q & A between songs. Everything from songwriting to work- ing as a band will be covered. SISTERS GARAGE DOORS DROP-IN PUBLIC Workshops run Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at Melvin’s Fir Street Market, The Open Door, Angeline’s Bakery and Sisters Coffee Company.
