Newport Folk Festival Lineup Announced
The Newport Folk Festival lineup was announced last night at the Middlesex Lounge in Cambridge. There truly is a mix of old and new with the lineup and a bunch of artists that have been featured on Music Savage in the past. I’m extremely excited for bands like Middle Brother, the Felice Brothers, Freelance Whales and The Head and the Heart, and its cool to see there are a few bands I haven’t had the opportunity to check out as of yet. This festival is definitely not one to miss.
