COFFIS BROS.: Santa
Cruz roots rockers will
be in Sisters July 31
Continued from page 11
the production of their lat-
est album was put on hold,
but they were still able to
push new music out virtually
in 2020. 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.
