It keeps on coming!  The Newport Folk Festival continues its lineup announcements and added even more interesting acts.

The announcements made over the past week are:

Iron & Wine‘s Sam Beam and Band of Horses‘ Sam Bridwell – this first-time collaboration sounds intriguing!

Calexico – I’ve been wanting to see this band for forever but always seem to have a conflict, so I finally have the chance!

Joe Pug – I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Joe about a year ago and am delighted to welcome him to the Festival.

So far, I’m already thrilled that I have a three-day ticket.

I plan to post the announcements weekly until NFF has completed the entire lineup. At that point, I might offer my opinions on the acts, once I know who is performing which day.

At this point, the only remaining type of ticket is the Friday single-day ticket. This is an amazing festival – even going for one day is worth it. Get your tickets now!!!
