Rain, shine, and rain again, the music and energy at this year's Newport Folk Festival was unquenchable.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this festival is one of a kind. The people it draws, and the sense of comraderie that it fosters between artists and fans alike is truly unique....
Geting to work with my friends at SOPA productions (Ryan, Adam and Colleeen) on the 2011 Newport Folk Festival was one of the best musical experiences of my life.
Nestled between the looming stone walls of the old fort and the cooling waters of the Newport Harbor, the festival lives and breathes its music and heritage in a way that is really unique. The presence of folk legends (like 92 year old Pete Seger), the intimate space which the festival inhabits, and perhaps something of the nostaligic feel of the festival all contribute to foster an environment of creativity, colaboration...
One of my favorite bands of all time to photograph.
In such, they merit their very own post from Coachella.
Put on "Ain't no rest for the wicked", kick back and enjoy
