“The lineup represents
well-respected artists we’ve
always wanted to bring to
Central Oregon, and also
fresh bands and songwrit-
ers from throughout North
America to round out the
musical palette that makes up
American Roots Music. We
are excited with the diversity,
talent and energy these acts
will bring to the festival,” said
Creative Director Brad Tisdel.
The Festival also unveiled
the newest original paint-
ing created by renowned art-
ist Dennis McGregor enti-
tled, “Hot Dogs.” The 2016
image portrays a collection of
dogs sitting around a camp-
fire enjoying the night sky
and playing music together.
While the idea first occurred
to McGregor to do a parody
of Coolidge’s dogs playing
poker, he soon realized that
wasn’t far from reality… hav-
ing a collection of friends
who like to “pick around the
fire and howl at the moon.”
All the town’s a stage at
Sisters Folk Festival.
“Our model is unique, with
large tented venues bookend-
ing town, and many intimate
stages spread throughout pri-
vate businesses,” said Tisdel.
“We have excellent, long-
standing partnerships with
business owners, which helps
put on display the beauty, hos-
pitality and quality-of-living
that Sisters represents. The
music is the focal point, and
the town embraces the artists
and the festival each year. The
festival continues to sell-out
early, so for those who wish
to be a part of a unique musi-
cal experience, purchase tick-
ets soon.”
