NewPort Folk Festival Editions | ALL WEEKEND ON THE FOLLOWING SHOWS;
TRIBES: This community-based show features music videos from varying groups, organizations, labels, etc., otherwise known as a ‘tribe.’ Tribes’ flexibility allows for quite a wide range of content programming. One episode might feature all music from Fat Possum Records, while the next episode might feature all female trios. It can be as specific and focused as needed. This show is great for record labels to sponsor in order to gain exposure, or for an association to sponsor new artists that they work with, e.g. Tribes: Rounder Hour, Tribes: Folk Alliance International, Tribes: What’s Hot Bloodshot?

Rhythm Roots | Daily @ 2pm/am & 7pm/am | New spin on Tradition
Rhythm Roots: Nostalgia and Tradition just walked in and can’t decide if they like the music enough to stay. Rhythm Roots is a new spin on the hybrid-genres between rhythm and blues and country music. City life meets country life, electric meets acoustic, whisky meets glass, and that’s just the first music video. Rhythm roots is migratory music, bringing the rural to the main stage.
