There’s one thing you can be sure about when you go to Newport: Expect the Unexpected. From the festival’s inception, it’s been an event packed with surprise sit-ins and once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. In this episode, you’ll hear about some of the most memorable, emotional, and legendary moments in Newport’s recent past, from the people who participated in them. We’ll bring you vivid memories and behind-the-scenes stories from the teary-eyed John Prine & Friends set in 2017, Brandi Carlile’s groundbreaking all-female headlining set in 2019, and so many more . One of the most beautiful things about Newport is the seamless melding of past, present and future: it’s a place where you can see young talents share the stage with musical legends, soul quenching moments with their own heroes that neither will ever forget.
