Each year the Newport Folk Festival shares a video as a way of saying thank you to their fans and the artists that played. The clip features musicians sharing their thoughts on the fest along with select musical highlights. This year’s edition includes the likes of Langhorne Slim, Nicole Atkins, Phoebe Bridgers and Brandi Carlile and more talking about what Newport means to them and special moments from the weekend.

The video is soundtracked to the likes of Tank & The Bangas and Hamilton Leithauser and includes two very different takes on the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Ohio” by Gary Clark Jr. and Jason Isbell & 400 Unit with David Crosby. The clip closes with Passenger’s solo acoustic take on Simon & Garfunkel’s “Sounds Of Silence.” Tickets for the 2019 installment of the Newport Folk Festival go on sale Thursday, November 29 at 10 a.m. ET via Eventbrite.
