It is with immense sadness that we let you know of the passing of our founder and north star, George Wein. We have all lost a giant champion of jazz, art, philanthropy, and equality. There will never be another like him. Rest easy, George.

THIS 100%
Newport is one of the last independent festivals in the country (not to mention a non-profit) please pay attention to this legislation
Live music is a vital part of the human experience. When this all ends, we will need independent venues to still be in business. I hope this kind of bipartisan legislation can become the norm as we claw our way back from this pandemic.
