Description

 Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" 48-page concert/event program and supplemental tri-fold schedule for the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, held at Freebody Park and St. Michael's School in Newport, RI from 7/23-26/1964.

 Design by Stacey Williams, Linda Solomon, Robert Yellin, Irwin Rosenhouse (cover) and more, program contains photos, essays, ads for local and national businesses, record/management companies, short bios on performers and a full schedule of events. Participants in this edition of the annual event included: Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Jose Feliciano, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Peter, Paul & Mary, Elizabeth Cotton, Jesse Fuller, Doc Watson, Judy Collins, Tom Paxton, Mississippi John Hurt, Jim Kweskin Jug Band, Phil Ochs, Odetta, Johnny Cash and MANY more.

 Medium-thin flat index stock interior (glossy-coated index card stock cover) program is in excellent (B+) condition; just a minor amount of scuffing/rubbing wear on the cover with a bit of toning/age-related staining and a tiny surface pull on the reverse, a bit of rust on the staples and a hint of spine wear, otherwise fine- no cut/missing pages, scribbling or additional wear, a fully-intact/complete example.

 Thin flat stock brouchure (folds down to 3&3/8 x 11") is in excellent (B+) condition; just a small stain in the bottom of the middle panel, a minor amount of handling/aging and a trace of wear on the machine folds, otherwise fine. 

 REALLY neat pair of early/mid-'60's "protest song-era" Newport Folk Festival artifacts with lots of great ads, bios, essays and much more. Here's Bob Dylan performing "Mr. Tambourine Man" from the Sunday show;
