Hi Everyone,

I'm elated to have been chosen as the JPF representative for the Newport Folk Festival through OurStage.com. Having lived in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for the last 6 years, I've attended Newport many times and have always been amazed at both the beautiful festival site and impressive artist roster each year. I'm extremely excited to be taking part in the festival, and I hope I do everyone at JPF proud.

I'm playing at 11:30 AM on Sunday, August 3rd on the Waterside Stage. I will be performing solo. The OurStage.com artists are opening the festival each day on both the Harbor and Waterside stages. There is one other singer-songwriter, Sydney Wayser, who will be performing during the same time slot as I a day earlier Saturday. The other artists are American Babies and The Honors, and both bands will play the same time slot (11:30 AM) on the Harbor Stage.

Thank you to Brian for recommending me, and to everyone else who may have given me a positive vote along the way. This is a fantastic opportunity, and I hope to make the most of it!!

Thanks again!!

Ryan
