Festival Forecast: Newport Folk Festival
30 JulLast time I saw Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros I was standing on a polo field in Indio, Calif. with Andrew, my boyfriend. I barely knew them- only had heard their single “Home.” That song has stuck with me since. My dad loves it, it’s my ringtone and I can’t get enough of their take away show of it in San Fransisco. It was on that field that I really first connected with the band.
This weekend, I’ll be seeing them again and hopefully getting an interview. I would love to talk to these guys.
I also plan to catch Brandi Carlile, John Prine (my dad’s idol,) Andrew Bird, Blitzen Trapper, Sharon Jones, April Smith, The Avett Brothers, The Swell Season and Edward Sharpe. Anyone else I should check out?
