Sisters Folk Festival tickets available now

The Sisters Folk Festival is selling a limited number of tickets for individual days of the September 11-13 event.

Prices are $30 for Saturday or Sunday until 5 p.m .; $45 for Friday or Saturday night or $60 for a Saturday pass from 10 a.m. to close.

All Events Passes remain available at $85, giving festival-goers three days of music on six stages. After Wednesday, September 9, all tickets will be on sale only at the Village Green Will Call on Friday beginning at 1 p.m.

The festival will continue offering buttons with the 2009 poster image for the All Events Pass.

"This year's poster image has been very popular," said Events Director Katy Yoder.

Local photographer, graphic designer and a member of The Anvil Blasters, Lynn Woodward was the model for this year's poster.

"Once again, local artist and musician Dennis McGregor worked his magic creating an image that represents the Sisters Country's role as a catalyst for the arts," said Yoder.

Performers for this year's festival include: Peter Rowan, the Alison Brown Quartet, Todd Snider, Kelly Joe Phelps, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin, the Belleville Outfit and Portland's popular indie-standout, Blind Pilot. Returning artists include Susan Werner and last year's Songwriting Contest winner, Rita Hosking. The Sisters Folk Festival Web site has links to all the musicians providing fans the opportunity to hear music by all performers.
