Last weekend was Newport Folk Festival. A few general notes, similar to what I've said in the past. There are great things about this festival, some frustrating things about it,.
Being in Chile (will be back in the U.S. in a few days, having missed Trump's Fascist July 4, the hottest first half of the summer in Rhode Island history,.
I was fortunate enough to see The Messthestics with James Brandon Lewis at City Winery in Boston the other week. That's not really my favorite space--I am not a big.
After sort of recovering from the exhaustion that Big Ears creates, I dragged myself to Boston to see the great rock band Wednesday, who I think is probably the most.

I saw Jason Isbell at the Wang Theater in Boston last week--fancy! This was my 13th Isbell show, briefly putting him alone in 2nd for the most times I've seen.
I saw two shows last week, part of a very busy February after a long show drought in January. The one I was most excited about Marissa Nadler, who played.
