Americana Project students perform

Last week’s arts event “O Sisters, Where Art Thou?” was a celebration of American roots music through a variety of artistic media.

On Friday night, students from the Americana Project showed that not only are the roots healthy, the newly sprouted branches are doing pretty well, too.

Nine students from the music outreach program sponsored by the Sisters Folk Festival performed to a packed house at Sisters Coffee Company. The singer-songwriters served up a mix of original songs and covers and were followed by a set by Americana Project Director Brad Tisdel.

The student performers were: Monica Offield, Travis Ehrenstrom, Benji Nagel, Travis Myrick, Drew Harrison, Austin Erlandson, Eric Adler, Nick Tripp and Amanda Sarles.
