Fri 30 Jul – Newport Folk Festival

This festival never disappoints. While there were no huge names this year, all the performers were solid. I was very disappointed with Andrew Bird, however. He is very talented, no doubt, but he is no entertainer and found myself easily distracted. Sharon Jones easily stole the show for me. She is one amazing performer. The Dapper Kings were fantastic. On Saturday, I loved Calexico. I found the Avett Brothers to be very uneven, but maybe it was because the terribly annoying woman behind me who wouldn't stop blabbering while professing her love of the Avett Brothers. Richie Havens was precious. I cannot wait until next year!
