About the Americana Project: The Americana Project, the educational outreach program of the Sisters Folk Festival provides opportunities for young people to learn about, write, perform, and record music. Through a curriculum integrating both guitar instruction and the history of American music, students build a heightened awareness of the influences that have shaped today’s music and culture. In its fifth year, the Americana Project has made a positive impact on the lives of over 750 young people both in class and as part of the overall program. The students are immersed in expressing themselves through songwriting and as a part of the curriculum write their own original songs. Opportunities to perform and be part of the Sisters community in celebrating art and self expression are driving the intergenerational participation in creating music and community involvement. The program now includes an elementary, middle, and high school component where simultaneously 60 students are participating each trimester.

About The Sisters Folk Festival: The Sisters Folk Festival is a three-day celebration of American music, from blues to bluegrass. Many greats have graced the stage since the initial Festival in 1995, including, Ian Tyson, Natalie MacMaster, Chris Smither, Dave Carter, The Waybacks, John Gorka, Ruthie Foster and more. The Sisters Folk Festival 2007 was a huge success. The festival brought together people that enjoyed beautiful weather and record numbers of music lovers who "folked out" to the music of incredible performers like Willy Porter, Harry Manx, The Greencards and the ever-popular Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks. The 2008 Festival is scheduled for September 5-7, 2008. Plan on enjoying the festival and all that Sisters Oregon has to offer!
