They released their fourth full-length record in April of 2020, <In the Cuts.= <We did a Zoom album release party and just chatted with the band and producers. It wasn9t what we were plan- ning, because it feels like it was missing something being in the hands of a live audience, but in the last few months, we9ve felt it9s been more out there more with being able to get it in people9s hands as we start to gig more,= said Kellen. The album consists of 12 songs that they produced and learned over the course of 6 months. SUDOKU SOLUTION The band worked with producer and member of The Mother Hips (the co-bill for the summer concert perfor- mance), Tim Bluhm. The Coffis Brothers had opened for The Mother Hips a few times and built up a relation- ship with Bluhm. <We all really looked up to Tim and we worked up the courage to ask him to be the producer on this album and he said yes. We booked a studio in Oakland and recorded In the Cuts,= Kellen said. <We were really lucky that the tim- ing worked out with him, and we hope to work with him on another album in the future.= Jamie and Kellen did most of the writing and creation of the songs off the record at the start, they then took them to the rest of the band to let everyone take their own cre- ative spin with it. <Sometimes the songs change a lot, and other times, they stay pretty similar to how they began,= Kellen said. The Coffis Brothers have never performed in Sisters but have played a few times in Bend. <We are really excited to finally get to play in Sisters,= said Kellen Coffis. The Coffis Brothers and The Mother Hips will be performing on a co-bill on Saturday, July 31, at 7 p.m., outdoors at the Sisters Artworks Building, 204 W. Adams Ave. Other musicians on the bill for summer concerts include David Jacobs-Strain/Tony Furtado Trio, Sway Wild/ True North, Making Movies/ Raye Zaragoza.
