The
Sisters Folk Festival believes in presenting great
music, whether by legends that you already know
or by folks you may never have heard before.
Our Festivalgoers really enjoyed the Northwest
Emerging Artist's Stage at
the Depot Café.
Many folks came up to us and
said "where've these guys been?"
Due to the response we received, we look forward
to inviting some of these great artists back
in the years ahead.

"Ray Wylie Hubbard writes the kind of songs that make you want to ride along no matter where he's going, because you know it's gonna get strange somewhere along the way."
"A sharply observant songwriter with a deep appreciation for the ageless fundamentals of folk, country, and rock . . . one of the country's most compelling roots artists."
"Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams, at others as defiant and teasing as prime Peggy Lee and always authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition...She's mighty good."
"... a lovely rustic blend of train-hobo sing-song tunesmithing
and trade-off string strumming, pickin', and bowin', with a wee
bit of beatboxing thrown in for the fun of it."
"... Moving to the top of her sophomore class with this beautifully crafted work produced by Gurf Morlix. Consider Heat Sin Water Skin a major exam for which she will receive high marks."
