<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Founded in 1959 by famed festival producer George Wein and folk icon Pete Seeger, Newport Folk Festival, long a favorite summer stop for musicians and fans alike,
continues in the forefront of live music events, for the last five years under the stewardship of producer Jay Sweet. In February, it received the Best Music Festival award by
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Pollstar</span></em>, the concert industry trade publication<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">,</span></strong> and returns to Fort Adams Park in Rhode Island this July with headliners
Beck, the Lumineers, Feist, and the Avett Brothers. WAY OVER YONDER is another step in Newport Folk’s journey as a national treasure.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">"We are thrilled to bring Newport Folk Festival to the West Coast, and look forward to meeting new friends and expanding the Newport Folk Family," said Sweet. "I
am humbled that we are able to partner with people who respect the history of our festival and share the dream of making sure this fabulous music continues to evolve and reach new audiences."</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Wein added, "While our festival has been filled to capacity over the past few years, this partnership makes it possible for fans to
experience some of the same great artists in a similar picture perfect setting. With the Newport Bridge, historic Fort Adams and Narragansett Bay as backdrops, enjoying Newport has been as special as the music. The Santa Monica Pier holds its own unique magic,
and no doubt music lovers will also want to come back there year after year."</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
