Newport Folk Festival has Stephen & Damian Marley and Jimmy Buffett

I said in the last post about how I didn’t think we would be going anywhere, but if we did, it would probably be to Newport, R.I. I practically grew up there in the summers, being that my dad was from Newport.

However, the Newport Folk Festival this year has some acts that I’d really like to see. Like The Black Crowes, Trey Anastasio from Phish, Stephen & Damian Marley (sons of Bob Marley), and my favorite, Jimmy Buffett.

Wow, the Marley’s and Jimmy Buffett in Newport. I love it. Last time we were there, we went out in the bay in my uncle’s boat and saw just a tiny bit of the Newport Jazz Festival.

I’d love to go out this year for the Folk Fest. Nothing would be better than sitting on a boat in Narragansett Bay, listening to the Marley’s and Jimmy Buffett.

By the way, if you’ve never been to Rhode Island, because it’s a small state you are never far from the beach, especially if you go to Newport, Middletown or Portsmouth. They are all on Aquidneck Island, and you are never more than a few minutes from the beach, from downtown, from shopping (if you are in to that sort of thing) or historical places.

If you want to go, you can buy tickets at the link above. If you do go, tell me about it in the comments.
