Community Events | Feb. 10, 2008, Sun | Folk Festival Winter Concert
On February 10, multi-instrumentalist David Lindley will perform music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.
To purchase tickets go to www.sistersfolkfestival.org or call the Festival office at 541.549.4979. Tickets are also available at Paulina Springs Books, Five Pine Lodge and Conference Center in Sisters, and the Curiosity Shoppe in Bend.

Community Events | March 2, 2008, Sun | Folk Festival Winter Concert
On March 2, Tracy Grammer will perform in Sisters while currently touring in support of Flower of Avalon, her much anticipated solo debut. In January 2006, the album showed up on "Best of" lists and listener polls around the country, and was the
#1 most-played album on folk radio across the United States. Grammer first graced the stages of the Sisters Folk Festival with long time partner Dave Carter, and demonstrated why Dave and Tracy went on to international acclaim with their beautiful melodies and inquisitively poetic lyrics. Tracy Grammer tours internationally with songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
Jim Henry. With acoustic and electric guitars, beautifully matched voices, dobro, mandolin and violin, this duo shares original songs, instrumentals, and pays homage to Carter and other stellar writers while charting a brand new course for themselves in the musical landscape. Grammer says, "I’ll keep on singing, and I’ll keep on telling my story, however that evolves. Working with Dave Carter was the first step on what I hope is going to be a long and fruitful road for me: the endless quest for authenticity through music.”
To purchase tickets go to www.sistersfolkfestival.org or call the Festival office at 541.549.4979. Tickets are also available at Paulina Springs Books, Five Pine Lodge and Conference Center in Sisters, and the Curiosity Shoppe in Bend. They are $20 adult/$10 student except for the Tracy Grammer show, which is $15 Adult/$10 student. Shows start at 6:30 pm, doors open at 5:30 pm.

Now in its 16th season, the Community Choir of Sisters is set for its annual Christmas concert, with two performances this weekend. The choir has been rehearsing since September under the direction of George Larson, the choir's director for the past eight years. Larson described the program as "an eclectic mix of classical and popular, sacred and secular music of the season." The choir will perform on Saturday, December 20, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, December 21, at 2 p.m. Both performances will be at Sisters Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration on Brooks Camp Road at the western edge of Sisters. Highlights include two pieces alluding to the story of the angel Gabriel's appearance to Mary, mother of Jesus. The first, "Nova, Nova," is based on a 15th-century manuscript, but Larson describes the arrangement as "distinctly modern yet evoking a medieval atmosphere." The second, Larson said, is "Magnificat, the famous biblical text in a rock-and-roll setting by Jackson Berkey of Manheim Steamroller fame." Berkey himself sought to evoke elements of Baroque and Twentieth Century jazz in this impressive piece.
