Northwest Forest Pass debuts in Sisters

Local bluesman Bobby Sims and his band will rock the Sisters Smokehouse Corral on Sunday afternoon, May 7, from 1 to 5 p.m. in a fund-raiser for the Sisters Folk Festival.

Sims, who will also perform at the folk festival this fall, will play on the outdoor stage at the Smokehouse. A $5 donation to the Sisters Folk Festival is requested.

According to Smokehouse owner Al Herauf, the blues concert is the first in a series of summer concerts designed to provide entertainment on Sunday afternoons and to raise interest in the September festival.

"I think a lot of people are going to appreciate having something to do on a Sunday in may," Herauf said. It's kind of breaking the winter mold, for sure."

The Sisters Smokehouse Corral is located at the corner of Larch Street and Main Avenue.
