Conor Oberst Live in Bethlehem, PA 7-24-12

July 24, 2012– Conor Oberst traveled to “the land Jesus was born in” to play a lengthly solo set that eventually ended with him accompanied by the Band Dawes . Dawes opened the evening, drawing attention and pleasing many. Conor Oberst told the crowd that Dawes will be recording soon, so keep your eye out for something new from these friendly, talented guys (and also keep an eye out for the photographs of their set as well, those are coming soon).

I’ve never been to the Musikfest Cafe, what a neat venue. Facing old steel stacks, the Musikfest cafe provides a beautiful glass window view from floor to ceiling. Quite the ambiance, sun setting, as a band takes the stage. Perfect.

I didn’t write down the set list, I was busy taking photos for the first three songs- and then went to my seat to enjoy music. Happy crowd, smiling faces and several new songs filled the evening.

This is just the beginning of the week for Conor Oberst. He’s slowly making his way over to the Newport Folk Festival this weekend. Sisters Dissonance will also be there covering the fun. Check back this week for more and more and more… This is going to be a great week.

Trouble Dolls at the Newport Folk Festival! (Have you seen this face?)

The trouble doll you are holding that led you to this site was handmade by either Ady or Shan (or one of their family members). They were listening to a 2012 Newport Folk Festival playlist while making them, to it is infused with some NFF love! Check to see if you are holding the trouble doll pictured below:

Wilco | Countdown to the 2012 Newport Folk Festival: 20 days!

Sisters Dissonance has begun ticking the days off the calendar—21 (twenty one!) days and counting until the much anticipated Newport Folk Festival begins (20 if you count Wilco’s Friday show as the kick off).

We can’t wait, and to help us cope with the days between now and then we will be sharing photos and video from the Sisters Dissonance archives—some of which that have never been shared before—of many of the performers who are included on the 2012 Newport Folk Festival schedule.

Countdown! T-minus 20 Days!
