The Newport Folk Festival continue its lineup announcements and – as expected – they are winners!

Newport Folk Festival Trademarked Logo

The announcements made over the past week are:

case/lang/veirs (Neko Case, k.d. lang, Laura Veirs) – This should be an extremely interesting collaboration.

Norah Jones – I have never seen her, but not for lack of desire, and now I can!

Glen Hansard – One of the stars of the film Once, he is gaining greater recognition as a touring musician and I cannot wait to see him at NFF!

I plan to post the announcements weekly until NFF has completed the entire lineup. At that point, I might offer my opinions on which acts to see, 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!!!
