Newport Folk Festival Preview

The long running and storied Newport Folk Festival is July 30 - August 1 this year and the lineup looks fantastic. I cannot even do the lineup full justice. There are the classic veterans like Richie Havens and exciting young(er) guns like Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes and Blitzen Trapper. There seems to be a good combination of folk and R&B with Sharon Jones on the docket. Even Steve Martin is performing. I am hoping to make it to Sunday for what looks like a wonderful day music perfect for a summer day on the water. Can you image going from The Avett Brothers to see Sharon Jones - awesome.
