Rejuvenation in Sisters
This is a cycling blog, and we haven’t even started the tour yet; so I won’t dwell on our weekend at the Sisters Folk Festival. Suffice it to say that it was a wonderfully refreshing experience that left us feeling heart-warmed and more optimistic and hopeful than when we arrived. If it weren’t held at a time that we’re often wanting to start an autumn tour, I think we’d be here every year.
And the music was OK too. As usual, the names were almost all completely new to us so we weren’t sure what to expect when we first reviewed the lineup. And as usual we were surprised and delighted by one act after another, finding ourselves either falling in love with the charisma and energy of the more youthful performers or inspired and seduced by the stories and wisdom of their elders.
So we won’t forget, here are the twelve performances we attended:
- Friday evening: Martyn Joseph, Rising Appalachia, the Hamiltones;
- Saturday afternoon: Will Kimbrough, Ellis, Le Vent du Nord;
- Saturday night: Cedric Burnside, the East Pointers, Bruce Cockburn;
- Sunday afternoon: Johnsmith, Lindsay Lou, Kuinka.
