Newport Folk Festival: Festival of the Year

Welcome back to Consequence's Annual Report, celebrating the best music and entertainment 2024 had to offer on the Consequence UNCUT: Annual Report (see the full list on Consequence.net!) podcast exclusively on Amazon Music!

On this episode, we are celebrating the Festival of the Year: The Newport Folk Festival. The timing is perfect with this being Newport Folk's 65th anniversary and Newport Jazz Festival's 70th! Consequence is marking the legacy of both events with an in-depth retrospective cover story, featuring interviews with Joan Baez, Brittany Howard, Nathaniel Rateliff, Samara Joy, and more artists who are part of the festival's story (check it out on Consequence.net). And what better way to show you the spirit of the festival than this live conversation recorded at Newport with editorial director Ben Kay, and the Executive Producer of the Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals, Jay Sweet.
