Newport Folk Festival (August 2nd & 3rd)

i was really hoping to make it up for this, my three current favorites; over the rhine, cat power and cowboy junkies are all playing the (arguably) most famed and prestigious ongoing festival in the history of music, the newport folk festival. plus sets by legends like levon helm, brian wilson* and richie havens along with sets by other greats like; gillian welch, steve earle/allison moorer, son volt, the black crowes and jakob dylan, playing where his father was booed off the stage 43 years ago for “going electric.” jakob, by the way, will be playing a solo acoustic set. it should be a great weekend and with jimmy buffet “headlining” and closing it out, there would be a great opportunity to slip out early and beat the traffic.

hopefully we will be getting a full report from friend and previous contributor, keith bergendorff who will be attending the festival along with several cowboy junkies and over the rhine shows in the region.

The Newport Folk Festival is a multi-day, multi-stage music festival held at the historic Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island.
