The festival, first held in 1959, has a rich history in the lexicon of American music. Amid sailboats and saltwater breezes, the seaside festival has helped introduce the roots of the country's music to generations of new players while simultaneously exposing listeners to some the nation's most influential figures, from groundbreakers Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf to new voices like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zero's and Neko Case.
While I've seen a lot of the performers from this years lineup before, here's a couple just hitting my radar I'm looking forward to checking out.
Check out the full line up here. And, you can be part of the action too, thanks to the NPR Music webcast. Check out all the details here.
Jonathan Wilson - "Can We Really Party Today?"
honeyhoney - "Let's Get Wrecked"
