Sunday, July 31 concluded three days of fun in the sun at the historic Newport Jazz Festival at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI.

Newport Folk Festival always does a great job at highlighting up-and-coming artists, some favorites who come every year, and surprises for day-closing sets. This year the festival brought out countless Ernie Ball legends including Courtney Barnett, J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Daniel Rateliff (The Night Sweats), and many more.
