Phosphorescent, Live At The Newport Folk Festival, 2013 Jul 30, 2013

Show notes

Raised in Alabama and based in Brooklyn, Phosphorescent's Matthew Houck makes moody, searching, raggedly pretty music.

Frank Turner, Live At The Newport Folk Festival, 2013 Jul 29, 2013

Show notes

It's not a stretch to call U.K. singer-songwriter Frank Turner a folksinger, especially when he performs solo with an acoustic guitar. But he's also a rocker, a punk and a storyteller.
