The 10 Best Moments of Newport Folk 2011
There are a lot of great music festivals in the U.S., but very few of them can be described as "relaxing." Despite, having to run between simultaneous sets from Middle Brother, The Head and the Heart and Elvis Costello at one point, Newport Folk is just that.
