WOOD: Artist moved
to Sisters for music
community
Continued from page 3
concert will feature four sets
of music from Ron Artis II
& the Truth, Beth Wood &
David Jacobs-Strain, Jeffrey
Martin and Haley Johnsen
Wood, as one of the fea-
tured artists, is <excited to
be with other humans mak-
ing music again.= Wood felt
surprisingly emotional about
the event being able to hap-
pen 4 because as a musician,
gathering together and being
with an audience feeds them
too, spiritually and physically.
<I look at it as let9s just
try it out and see if works to
be together in this way,= she
said.
Wood will be playing a
set with David Jacobs-Strain,
another regular performer at
the festival. After they played
a few songs together during
the My Own Two Hands live
stream virtual auction per-
formance in May, they real-
ized they clicked really well
together.
<We are figuring out what
songs we want to do together
& last time it was a sort of
flying by the seat of our pants
moment 4 but the energy
worked really well when we
were performing together,=
she said.
The Sisters Folk Festival
Close to Home will be held
on Saturday, August 1 at the

Adapting to a changed
musical landscape
By Ceili Cornelius
Correspondent
As with many musicians
these days, Sisters singer-
songwriter Beth Wood is
having to learn to adapt to a
profoundly changed world.
<Myself and a lot of other
artists are learning how to
adapt to the reality that is
now,= she said. Wood said it
has been an interesting pro-
cess for her, learning to live-
stream concerts.
<It is a poor substitute but
it9s something at least and
I9ve been surprised how fun
it actually ends up being after
I play one,= she said.
Wood is trying to find a
balance in livestream play-
ing, while also writing new
material. One way Wood has
been able to keep busy and
hold herself accountable to
continue writing, is by using
a platform for artists called
Patreon.
Patreon is a subscription to
artists and their work online
where patrons pay a certain
membership level amount
each month. In return, they
get a new song or poem from
Wood every month as well as
Zoom calls with patrons.
<This platform is really
helping to finance artists
right now and it has given me
something to focus on, need-
ing to produce content every
month,= she said.
Wood explained how this
time in the world is a very
transitional time for art-
ists and musicians having
to replace recording sales
income, and now touring
income.
<With something like
Patreon and patrons willing
to pay, some of that income
is being replaced by them,=
she said.
Her page can be found at
https://www.patreon.com/
bethwoodmusic.
Wood has been enjoying
being able to perform a little
bit, even if it is virtually and
she subscribes to other musi-
cians on Patreon as well.
<I9ve been Zooming my
face off doing these perfor-
mances and workshops and
lessons during this time,= she
said.
Wood has also been busy
cooking and hiking and writ-
ing 4 but also remembering
to play music for fun.
<I9ve been playing a lot
of music just for the fun of
it. Touring, you don9t get to
hang and play as much, so
that9s been good,= she said.
Wood is trying to figure
out what9s next for herself
and other musicians.
<We will always need
music, and I am trying to fig-
ure out how to adapt to be a
part of that,= she said.
