About

Journalist and author Rick Massimo discusses the history of the Newport Folk Festival, an American musical institution that began more than a half century ago and continues to influence our understanding of folk music today. Drawing on his extensive interviews and archival research about the festival, which served as the basis of his 2017 book "I Got a Song," the author details how the American folk music scene has evolved over the decades, absorbing influences from rock and traditional music as well as the now legendary singer-songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s. He recounts some of the many stories about fabled Newport Festival performances and explores how the iconic festival has reemerged as an influential focal point for a new generation of performers and fans.
