Newport Folk Fest 2013

[Lowerdeck]

Who do I have to kill to get a Black Joe Lewis appearance at the fort?

[itrainmonkeys]

I'm going to figure a way to go to this (and Quack Club if it's same weekend again). I will make it work.

Yes ITM... QC is the same weekend again this year. I'll hop over and update the QC thread.
Make it happen!!

My favorite announcement since the Lumineers: Lord Huron!

This calls for a revision of my top 10 most anticipated acts:

1. The Lumineers
2. Lord Huron
3. Spirit Family Reunion
4. Frank Turner
5. Father John Misty
6. Jim James
7. Shovels & Rope
8. Houndmouth
9. John McCauley
10. The Felice Brothers

Lord Huron?! VERY NICE!!!

I'll be sure to bring my monkey towel, then

Now this is just wishful thought, but...

John Butler Trio: All Good the weekend before. Then a few shows opening for DMB during the week. Then the last weekend of July - Floyd Fest that Friday and then nothing.


Landing JBT at Newport would be sweet. Sadly, I don't think I'll happen. Vibes would be more likely of the New England fests.

I was never a fan of the decemberists but the video they posted of colin meloy has sparked my interest

I'm kind of hoping that JBT will ditch GotV for NFF this year. It's not out of the realm of possibility.

Could play both right? One day at one and one day at the other? Not sure of what his tour datesa re like

That wouldn't be very nice. I'm still holding grudges against other bands for doing similar things. I'd hate to add them to the list. (Though, it's a nice thought)

It's likely that all The Decemberists will be there in one form or another. Should make for some interesting collaborations.

Didn't see the lineup drop before posting that. Since the venues are only 90 minutes apart they could realistically do both but I doubt they will.

I could see NFF getting a Black Crowes (acoustic) set on Friday or Saturday night (depending on when they play GotV).

True, i forgot that a couple of them are also in black prairie who i've been listening to a lot since i got a copy of a tear in the eye

[Lowerdeck]

Black Crowes and JBT. I wonder if Newport will get either.

[itrainmonkeys]

I know tickets are sold out and my plan is to buy them from someone second-hand but if anyone sees/notices any Newport Folk Fest contests please send the my way

I have 3 3-day passes and i feel like last minute the third person might back out so if you are still looking around the end of july you can ask me if i have an extra and i would gladly sell them to you at face.

k2b... that looks woooonderfully suspicious! I'd love to try to make the Port Chester show, but I fully plan to already be at Quack Club and drunk that night.

WHOW! There is a name named Bonnie? I've never heard of such shenanigans before.

(Obviously, I've never heard of these two)

He's gone by Will Oldham (his actual name), Bonny Billy, and Bonnie "Prince" Billy. He never seems to break out (probably because of the style of music he plays), but he's continuously one of Pitchfork's favorite artists.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy just got me wicked jealous. That's amazing.

Collaborative, yes, but still my favorite and a great place to start, imo.

Ahhhh you're right. Well, I will wait to see if they get added or not. If not, I'm going to try to make that show happen.

[k2boarder36]

I wish I could find this album on Spotify, but this will be beautiful at the fort.

[Katy Mae]

AHHHHHHHHHH!! BONNIE PRINCE BILLY AT NEWPORT!11

I'm so, so pumped for this.

[bonzai]

Lovey dovey duet? They know the way to my heart!! Still confused about the Bonnie thing, though.

I have yet to pin down Bonnie "Prince" Billy. It doesn't help that his stage name changes album by album.

A lot of his albums are collaborations (he even has an album with post-rock outfit Tortoise). The hipsters seem to love him; he's played a bunch of ATP festivals (curated by Portishead, Shellac, etc.) and has received "Best New Music" honors before from Pitchfork.

He even released a condom for record store day last year.

Here's another good song from him:



Maybe someone more familiar with him and his music can better fill you in.
