Newport Folk Fest Streaming on NPR
I decided last minute to skip town this weekend to visit a friend, and ended up missing several killer shows as a result. (Hey, it's Summer.) Fortunately, the good folks at NPR are letting me get my music on remotely by streaming all of today's live sets from the Newport Folk Festival, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Just finishing up now is the outstanding Cory Chisel; next up is soul/funk queen Sharon Jones, who headlines Celebrate Brooklyn next week. No way I'm skipping town till after that one.
