It’s time again for the annual trek to the Newport Folk Festival, one of the favorite annual get-togethers. This year’s lineup includes veteran artists like Norah Jones, Ryan Adams and Elvis Costello, along with plenty of newcomers, including John Moreland, River Whyless and Julien Baker. The music is amazing and things happen at Newport that happen nowhere else. It’s an ever-evolving festival that’s been around for over 50 years and was founded by music impresario George Wein (who also founded the Newport Jazz Festival and Jazz Fest in New Orleans) along with the spiritual guidance of Pete Seeger. Both men hoped to give a voice to artists who are not afraid to speak truth to power.
For everyone who can’t join us in Newport, there will be live-streaming select sets from the entire weekend via TuneIn‘s Newport Folk Radio. Set times and a complete webcast schedule are listed below. All times are USA Eastern.
