The Bills, headliners for the 2005 Sisters Folk Festival, will be back for an entertaining show in December.

BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet, a legendary Louisiana-based band will be performing on Saturday, January 6.

Tickets for the January 6 show are $20 and $15 for students.

Johnsmith, award-winning singer-songwriter, will close out the series on February 1. A songwriter-in-the-round style concert is planned for this show, and the other artists joining John are still to be determined. Tickets for the show are $10 and $5 for students.
