The Head and The Heart

Newport Folk Festival: Day 3

by Sarah Wardrop

Sometimes it felt like we were paying as much attention to the weather radar as the music, but in the end, there was sun.

Day 3 at Newport had quite a finale: the skies cleared up, and a mutual admiration society of Dawes, Jonathan Wilson, Tom Morello and Sara Watkins held court on the Fort stage with Jackson Browne as their leader, soaking it all up. "Lawyers, Guns and Money" with a Tom Morello solo... Maybe the first time an electric guitar has been played with teeth at Newport? Probably a tie with "These Days" for my highlight of Jackson's set.

This weekend's Newport Folk Festival is a far cry (and a lot of miles) from their origins at a Seattle open mic night, but the 6 members of The Head and The Heart are familiar with big gigs thanks to the success of their self-titled album. Learn more about the sound and story of the band, as they join host Claudia Marshall in FUV's Studio A. [05/16/2011]
