Before Coachella and Woodstock, there was Newport. From 1963 to 1966, the Newport Folk Festival catalyzed America’s youth, creating a forum for the protest song to grow, for a generation to find its voice, for Bob Dylan to evolve from political balladeer to leather-jacketed rock n’ roller. NEWPORT & THE GREAT FOLK DREAM is an immersion into these years, told by those who were there—including Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and the Freedom Singers.
