rodeo president receives
cowboy proclamation
Last Saturday, July 25,
was National Day of the
Cowboy.
In honor of the 15th
observance of the occasion,
Senator Ron Wyden’s office
sent an official copy of the
National Day of the Cowboy
proclamation to Glenn Miller,
who has served as the long-
time president of the Sisters
Rodeo Association.
The proclamation, dated
July 9, 2015, cites cowboy
values of honesty, integ-
rity, courage, compassion,
respect, a strong work ethic
and patriotism, and notes
the cowboy’s status as an
American icon.
The proclamation then
declares July 25, 2015,
National Day of the Cowboy.
Miller plans to frame
the proclamation and pres-
ent it to the Sisters Rodeo
Association. It will hang in
the Sisters Rodeo Clubhouse,
where cowboys and cowgirls
gather each year to exhibit
the strength of character
lauded in the proclamation at
the now-76-year-old Sisters
Rodeo.

On Thursday, August 6,
Austin songwriter “Matt the
Electrician” will perform,
and on Saturday, August 22,
Keith Greeninger will bring
his easygoing California folk
to downtown Sisters.
These shows, supported by
The Roundhouse Foundation,
provide an opportunity for
Sisters Folk Festival to give
back to the community that
supports its programs so well.
“I believe the opportunity
to present world-class song-
writers for free, and two of
our audience favorites over
the years, is a step in say-
ing thank you — for another
sold-out festival and capping
an outstanding year for the
organization,” said Creative
Director Brad Tisdel.
“Matt came to the festi-
val in 2011 and was one of
the best-selling artists in the
history of our event. It’s an
indication that people con-
nect to his music. It’s honest,
well-crafted, fun and quirky.
He’s carved his own niche in
the music world, and we’ve
been anticipating working
with Matt again,” says Tisdel.
As a singer-songwriter,
Greeninger paints intricate
portraits of the human condi-
tion with powerful melodic
images; deep, engaging
guitar rhythms and husky,
heart-wrenching vocals. His
masterfully crafted tunes
and powerful presence have
earned him top songwrit-
ing awards at the prestigious
Telluride Bluegrass Festival,
The Kerrville Folk Festival,
and The Napa Valley Folk
Festival. Greeninger has
toured the national folk and
Americana circuit exten-
sively for over two decades.
Keith is friend to
many, having taught at the
Americana Song Academy,
worked with students in
Sisters for over a decade, and
performed at many festivals,
including last year in Sisters
with Little Feat’s Bill Payne
and the rhythm section from
the Bonnie Raitt band.
“Keith is part of the Sisters
Folk Festival family, and
although he won’t be playing
the festival this year, we wel-
come him back home.” Tisdel
said.
Portland’s Anna Tivel
will open the show. She
has played the Sisters Folk
Festival for the past two
years, as both a solo act and
as part of the Shook Twins
band.
The venue at Fir Street
Park will be a free venue on
Saturday and Sunday of the
20th Anniversary Sisters Folk
Festival, September 11-13.
With performances starting at
noon on both days, the com-
munity will be able to see
Americana Project students
and alumni, and some of the
festival’s headlining talent on
that stage.
