6 to 7:30 p.m. Beverages and
hors d’oeurves will be served

ists and views their work.
The exhibit will be on display
until February 25. Around 50
artists are exhibiting artwork
in many different mediums,
including sculpture, fiber art,
all types of painting, jewelry,
collage, woodworking and
photography.
Last year’s opening recep-
tion was very well attended
with many votes cast for
the eventual three People’s
Choice winners: Dennis
Schmidling for his photo-
graph “Smith Rock at Dawn”;

painting “Morning Light”;
and Fred Kimmell for his

The Wood Brothers are one of folk music’s hottest tickets — and they’re coming to Sisters.
Wood Brothers headed to Sisters
The Wood Brothers have
gained a reputation as one
of the best live acts touring
the country. Their current
tour brings them to Sisters
on Thursday, January 28, for
the first 2016 Winter Concert
Series show presented by
Sisters Folk Festival at Sisters
High School auditorium.
Steeped in a songwriting
tradition, The Wood Brothers
are celebrating their sixth stu-
dio album, “Paradise.”
T h e Wo o d B r o t h e r s
released their debut studio
album, “Ways Not To Lose,”
on Blue Note Records in
2006. Chris Wood already
had legions of devoted fans
for his work as one-third of
Medeski, Martin & Wood,
while his brother Oliver
toured with Tinsley Ellis
before releasing a half-dozen
albums with his band King
Johnson. Almost a decade
later and with drummer and
multi-instrumentalist Jano
Rix added as a permanent
third member, it’s become
quite clear that The Wood
Brothers is indeed the main
act.
