Let me continue my grand tradition of Newport rumor-mongering . . .
Two years ago, I incorrectly speculated that Jack White would make a surprise appearance.
Last year, I incorrectly declared that a Robert Plant sighting might be imminent.
So this year, I am predicting a surprise reunion of The Decemberists!
You may or may not know that Black Prairie includes several members of The Decemberists. They are on the bill for Sunday.
And Decemberists' lead singer Colin Meloy is scheduled to perform on Saturday.
It's notable that both acts are not booked to play anywhere else, in the days before or after their Folk Festival gig. Meaning, they are free to come a day early/stay a day late, so their can be crossover.
Decemberists reunion! Listen this weekend! Because it's probably not happening!
Black Prairie and Colin Meloy perform this weekend at the Newport Folk Festival. For artist previews and mvyradio's Newport Folk Channel, visit the mvyradio Bloggers page. And hear full coverage of the Festival, with live sets from the stage, on mvyradio.com.
