I wasn’t in Newport. I was nowhere near that Rhode Island destination, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. But thousands of miles away, thanks to the internet, I caught many of the archived concerts of this year just a few days after the festival. It was a treat filled with discoveries. I got to hear so many new artists. The sweet harmonies of Joy Williams and John Paul White who call themselves The Civil Wars; or the folk with a kick delivered by Middle Brother, a sort of super folk band that is made up of members drawn from three bands—Dawes, Deer Tick and Delta Spirit; I heard Tegan & Sara, twins from Canada, who are actually a spunky punk-laced pop band but who held the Newport audience in thrall.
