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:

Watkins Family Hour – I’ve heard such good things about them and hope I can see them this year!

Lord Huron – I caught part of their set one year and hope this year I can catch their entire set!

Christopher Paul Stelling – Joe Fletcher loves him, and that’s good enough for me!

José González – I know nothing about this Swedish folksinger but he sounds interesting

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!!!
