SISTERS FOLK FESTIVAL FREE SUMMER CONCERTS: MATT THE ELECTRICIAN
6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
FirStreetPark
Matt Sever, aka “Matt the Electrician,” performing his unique brand of quirky, acoustic-based roots/folk has been described as “Paul Simon wrapped around a Tom Waits heart.” As an independent songwriter from Austin, Texas, he has self-released 8 studio records, 2 live records and 2 EPs since 1998. Matt tours all over the world, making regular trips to Europe and Japan as well as touring throughout the United States and Canada. “Matt came to the Festival in 2011 and was one of the best-selling artists in the history of our event. It’s an indication that people connect to his music. It’s honest, well-crafted, fun and quirky. He’s carved his own niche in the music world, and we’ve been anticipating working with Matt again,” says Tisdel.

Soul-infused Americana rockers brought to Bend by Random Presents. Heavily influenced by the vocal harmony and acoustic-based musical sound of Laurel Canyon (CSNY, Joni Mitchel), these guys have made a name for themselves since day one performing along the likes of Conor Oberst, Hozier, Chris Robinson, and My Morning Jacket. “And may all your favorite bands stay together,” sings Taylor Goldsmith on the title track to Dawes’fourth album, All Your Favorite Bands, on their own HUB Records, harking back to a time when that very special rock group helped define who you were, expressing the joy and passion the foursome put into the release.
