Drawing offers chance to win coveted tickets

"Starry Nights Presents An Acoustic Evening with Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt" was a quick sell-out, but Ray's Food Place is offering a chance to win a pair of tickets and other prizes. Visit the Starry Nights display at Ray's in Sisters and enter to win tickets, CDs from the artists, a "locals gift bag" and other local gift cards. The drawing will be held on Friday, January 25, at noon.

"We are thrilled to continue our support of the Sisters Schools Foundation through Starry Nights" said Ray's Food Place manager Jeff McDonald. "We have been there since day one because we know the importance of the Foundation and what it affords the students in our community through our schools. Our kids have an array of things available to them that they otherwise might not. What a unique and invaluable event this is!"

The concert takes place on Tuesday, January 29, as Lovett and Hiatt team up for a performance at Sisters High School to kick-off their 2019 tour. The artists are donating their time to support programs and activities at Sisters elementary, middle, and high schools.

Doors open at 6 p.m., with Sisters High School Americana, Jazz Choir, and Jazz Band students performing, complimentary hearty appetizers and desserts served by Sisters High School culinary arts students and a silent auction. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. with the two musical legends sharing the stage for a performance showcasing their songs and the stories and inspirations behind them.

Starry Nights events have raised over $1.3 million in net proceeds for the Sisters Schools Foundation since its inception in 1997. Among the artists who have performed in the series are Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Keb' Mo,' Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Karla Bonoff, Kim Carnes, Rodney Crowell, Hal Ketchum, Lee Ann Womack and Christopher Cross. "An Acoustic Evening with Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt" marks a special return to Sisters for both artists - Hiatt last appeared at Starry Nights in 2005, and Lovett performed at the event with his ensemble in 2006.
