Newport Folk Festival 2011 Lineup


Hot off the presses...here is your Newport Folk Festival 2011 lineup!  As we've come to expect from Newport Folk, the lineup features a healthy mix of new faces, legends and a few interesting surprises (Gogol Bordello acoustic!).  In recent years the festival has focused on putting up-and-coming indie artists alongside folk legends, fostering a collaborative spirit and it looks like this year will follow that trend.  Veterans like The Decemberists, M. Ward and Gillian Welch (collaboration, perhaps?) join fresh faces like The Head And The Heart, Middle Brother and Mountain Man alongside legends such as Emmylou Harris, Ramblin Jack Elliot and Mavis Staples.  July can't come fast enough.
