Singer-songwriter Dennis McGregor is set to share his songs at Frankie's in Sisters on January 24.
McGregor grew up in the "coffee house" era of the 1960s and '70s where the emphasis was on a "pin drop" listening experience. There was no dining, dancing, or talking, just folks listening intently to acoustic music.
In addition to his musical activity Dennis is widely known for his poster art and children's books. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance at http://www.sistersdepot.com or at the door. Seating is limited.
The Gypsy Travellers will play an intimate acoustic set at Frankie's in Sisters next month.
Sisters band The Gypsy Travellers will play an evening of music at Frankie's on Friday, February 7. The show will be mostly quiet originals, along with a few well-known covers, such as songs by Fleetwood Mac and Ray Charles.
The band was formed in Sisters in 2022 by local residents and founded by a real Gypsy. Band founder and lead singer Tamra Asbell is descended from Roma Traveller people. Tamra went to Sisters High School and now lives with her husband and bass player, Cruz, in Central Oregon. The band is made up of Sisters residents Ty Beatty (lead guitar, vocals), Leif Anderson (acoustic guitar), and Scott Crabtree (drums, vocals), and Redmond resident Brooke Miracle (vocals, percussion). Tamra, Ty, Leif, and Scott all contribute original songs.
"While we typically rock out with a full drum set, we're excited for this quieter, more acoustic, intimate show at Frankie's," said Tamra.
"The Gypsy Travellers have brought in good crowds who've thoroughly enjoyed their rocking shows on our outdoor patio. We're excited to hear a different approach in our listening venue, Frankie's," said Eryn Ross, Sisters Depot founder.
