The first day of the three day Newport Folk Festival brought out Margo Price with guest appearances by John Prine and Brandi Carlile, Sturgill Simpson, Charlie Musselwhote and Ben Harper, St. Vincent, Jason Isbell And rumors of Neil Young closing the Saturday night show tomorrow.

J.D. McPherson Band and a guest appearance by Shakey Graves were an early highlight so far .

No rain and hot as it should be; a very good opening day of the three day festival. 

Rock on.
