From Our Schedule to Yours: 10 Must-See Artists at Newport Folk Festival 2016

There’s a reason Newport Folk Festival sells out long before the lineup is announced. It’s because disappointment is impossible. There isn’t a single artist we aren’t excited about this year, but when it comes to making your schedule, we want you to consider these 1o “must-see” acts.

The list is eclectic, and includes more than one sibling ensemble — The Staves and the Cactus Blossoms (whose You’re Dreaming is one of our favorite albums of 2016 thus far) — as well as Canadian songwriter Basia Bulat, Country artist (and maker of legendary gumbo), JP Harris, and the leading lady of old-school outlaw country, Margo Price…to name a few.
