After Jim didn’t show up to any of Conor’s “and friends” residency, I’m not betting on MOF. I have a theory that Jim is staying away from Conor in his new found sobriety.
Hmmm that’s some food for thought.
I just remember the MOF Instagram tagging NFF and teasing some future news for the band’s anniversary.
Jim tagged Newport as the location. Probably a vinyl release of the album.

So what’s the deal with Allison Russel’s connection with other artists and potential guests? I know nothing about her but the chatter in the Facebook group is that set has potential for guests

She headlined one of the nights of Folk On (during the Covid years).
She brought out Chaka Khan as a guest.
Yola, Brandi, Sunny War, Joy Oladokun, Adia Victoria, Margo Price, Celisse, Kam Franklin, and others all joined throughout the set.
She was also in Our Native Daughters which was a supergroup with other Newport favorites.

She also spearheaded the Tennessee Freedom Singers, which has a very Newport friendly cast of characters:
Allison Russell, Amanda Shires, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Brittney Spencer, Brooke Eden, Denitia, Devon Gilfillian, Elizabeth Cook, Emmylou Harris, Erin Rae, Fancy Hagood, Jaimee Harris, Julie Williams, Kam Franklin, Katie Pruitt, Kyshona Armstrong, Langhorne Slim, Lilly Winwood, Lucie Silvas, Maren Morris, Mary Gauthier, Meghan Linsey, Meghan McCormick, Mya Byrne, MORGXN, Paul McDonald, Phillip-Michael Scales, Ruby Amanfu, Sam Ashworth, Sara Van Buskirk, Shelly Colvin, Tre Burt and Wade Sapp.
Newport 65 (Songs played at the first Newport, featuring Joan Baez and guests)
Didn’t realize it was an anniversary year, I could definitely see something like this, especially since they largely bypassed those kinds of sets last year

Yeah I’d be surprised if they ignored the feedback and didn’t do a collaborative set to close it out. It could be a Mavis birthday thing, but I’m hoping it’s this instead

NFF aftershows at Blues Cafe Thurs and Fri. Not Saturday again.
Also, I popped in there for the cover band last year on the Sat after dinner... maybe a Top 5 worst experience of my life. You think DT shows are crowded? This was way worse... and everyone was 22.

I saw Langhornw Slim at that folk festival fundraiser United Theater did years ago, and he (along with Blitzen Trapper) were two of the standouts. No complaints here!

Oh yeah, Blues is a total college bar at this point. Long list of better places to go.

A Twain + Friends aftershow would be cool. We already have Adrianne, Buck, and Langhorne at the fest, other Folk Family like Erin Rae and Courtney Marie Andrews could join among I’m sure many others.

I’d be into that. Just saw The Deslondes in Providence — such a fun show. They are buddies with Twain too, could be a great add.
Upcoming Shows: May 17: Neil Young and Crazy Horse May 30: The Rolling Stones July 19: Noah Kahan/Mt. Joy July 26: Newport Folk Festival August 7: Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid/The Linda Lindas August 30: Waxahatchee/Snail Mail/Tim Heidecker September 17: Pearl Jam/Glen Hansard September 24: Idles
What do you think the chances are that Strand of Oaks is booked for NFF? Saw him years ago and loved him. His new singles are incredible.
Would be a repeat booking so chances are probably great.
I get that people like to jock on Newport for booking a lot of Folk Family, but calling Strand of Oaks a repeat booking when they have only played one time back when Obama was president seems a bit over the top.

Speaking of artists who haven't played in a while, I'd love to see Dr. Dog. I know they're not formally touring (just a show in Philly and Denver), but who knows?

I’m low key thinking they might be one of the last 5 announced. It seems in jays wheel house and I think they’d be interested
