Get there ealry, sign up and share your songs. For Pete’s Sake – Hosted by Chris Funk of the Decemberists, For Pete’s Sake provides a platform for musicians who carry the spirit of Pete Seeger and the early Folk Festival – a dedication to the traditions of bluegrass, gospel, world and roots music, to which Pete and Toshi Seeger dedicated their lives. Converse Rubber Tracks – Converse is back again this year offering three aspiring artists the opportunity to record for free at the state-of-the-art Converse Rubber Tracks recording studio in Boston, as well as afternoon Museum sets at Newport Folk. Motel Song Swap– Each day will end with a song circle featuring special guests sharing the stage and swapping songs.
