Newport festivals added $5M to RI economy in 2012.

Since 2009, Kingsley Flood have been one of Boston’s hardest working bands – and certainly one of her best. Combining elements of Americana, Country and Folk, they released the 2010 full-length debut Dust Windows – and they quickly became one of the region’s most skilled (and routinely wonderful) live acts.

You know the deal…

Let’s welcome Houndmouth to the 2013 lineup!

Andrew Bird is back for 2013!

“Since he can remember, Andrew Bird has had melodies in his head and he even chews his food to them.”
