Welcome back to Roadcase for the Final Installment of this special three-part Interview Series from Newport Folk Festival, which took place July 22-24 in Newport, Rhode Island!!  For this last Newport episode, we're super pumped to have Phil Cook, John Cragie and Sylvan Esso (Nick Sanborn and Amelia Heath) join Roadcase for more EPIC interviews and intimate sit-downs. Day 3 promised to be another incredible day of music (and far less humidity) --  and as the day opened, festival goers were still buzzing about the appearance  of Paul Simon the prior evening at a tribute set honoring his musical legacy.  Our three guests on this last day are no strangers to the long tradition at Newport Folk of not only collaborations and honoring the careers of those who have provided music fans with so much joy, but also the spirit of new and up-and-coming artists who are playing Newport for the first time.  Phil, John, Amelia and Nick talk to Josh about what Newport means to them, how the festival has shaped their careers and what live performance means to them. So let's head out to the Media Tent for the last time at this 2022 Festival and get set to laugh, maybe cry, and definitely rejoice over the amazing musical offerings at this historic festival. And get ready to return to the Fort on July 28-30, 2023 for next year's Newport Folk Festival !!
