Colorado folk band headed to Sisters

The SFF Presents Summer Concert series continues at Sisters Art Works with Elephant Revival performing on Thursday, August 1. Returning to touring after a four-year hiatus, Elephant Revival is a unique collection of multi-instrumentalists blending elements of Celtic, Americana, Folk, and Indie Art Rock. The Colorado-based group is performing just two west coast dates before heading to the midwest and beyond on a fall tour.

Elephant Revival is returning to touring with a performance at Sisters Art Works on Thursday, August 1.

The band consists of Bonnie Paine (vocals, cello, djembe, washboard, musical saw), Bridget Law (fiddle, vocals), Dango Rose (upright bass, mandolin, vocals), Charlie Rose (banjo, pedal steel, mandolin, vocals), Darren Garvey (drums, percussion, vocals), and Daniel Sproul (guitars, vocals).

The music they create together is like weather systems meeting in the sky, with Bonnie's warmly haunting voice either merging with the rhythms and melodies of the band or providing a counterpoint and transforming it. Performing what they've referred to as "transcendental folk" music, their sound is ethereal, soul-stirring, and uplifting all at once.

The final concert of the series will be the free Hometown Hang concert on Thursday, August 8, celebrating regional talent with Erin Cole Baker, Dennis McGregor and The Spoilers, and the Joel Chadd Band.

Both concerts will be held at the Sisters Art Works venue located at 204 W. Adams Ave. in Sisters. Doors open at 6 p.m. with shows starting at 7 p.m. Additional band and ticket information is available at https://www.sffpresents.org/concerts. These are general admission, all-ages shows.
