Newport Folk Festival: Day 3

by Sarah Wardrop

Sometimes it felt like we were paying as much attention to the weather radar as the music, but in the end, there was sun.

Day 3 at Newport had quite a finale: the skies cleared up, and a mutual admiration society of Dawes, Jonathan Wilson, Tom Morello and Sara Watkins held court on the Fort stage with Jackson Browne as their leader, soaking it all up. "Lawyers, Guns and Money" with a Tom Morello solo... Maybe the first time an electric guitar has been played with teeth at Newport? Probably a tie with "These Days" for my highlight of Jackson's set.

WFUV at SXSW: Jonathan Wilson

by Rita Houston

In-demand producer and session player Jonathan Wilson has finally makes the time to share his own songs with the world, and we are so glad about that. He's well known among musicians, and starting to spread the word to fans with his new album, Gentle Spirit. We were happy to catch up with him and his band in Austin at the Hotel San Jose to capture this live performance of "Moses Pain."
