Newport Folk Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (966 words)
The Newport Folk Festival is an annual folk-oriented music festival in Newport, Rhode Island founded in 1959 by Theodore Bikel, Oscar Brand, Peter Seeger and George Wein, founder of the already-well-established Newport Jazz Festival, and his partner, Albert Grossman.
The Festival is reknown for introducing a number of performers who would go on to become superstars, most notably Joan Baez (who appeared as an unannounced guest of Bob Gibson in 1959, and Bob Dylan whose first Newport appearance in 1963 is generally regarded as his premiere national performance.
The Newport Folk Festival fell on hard times in the later 1960s, even closing its doors for a number of years, beginning in 1971, but was revived in 1985, and has since become one of the major folk music festivals in the United States, alongside the Philadelphia Folk Festival, which began in 1960.
