THe Newport Yachting Center on America's Cup Ave in Newport just announced additions to their summer concert series - went there to see Robert Cray last summer and it was excellent, it's a great smaller venue under a tent right downtown.

Susan Tedeschi - Sat. June 27

Michael McDonald - Friday, July 24

Robert Cray - Sat. July 25

You can get the info at:

I was a big Doobies fan so I'd like to see Michael McDonald, but I definitely will be going to see Susan Tedeschi - love her stuff and haven't seen her live yet - really hope Derek Trucks will be with her but it looks like he's got a tour going on at the same time...

some good players here for April and May
