Excited for Spring Weekend yet? No? Well, start getting ready. The Brown Concert Agency is officially asking for submissions of bands to be at Spring Weekend 2011. The catch? Submissions should be budget-realistic (however, I think Britney has lowered her prices since the second kid). So go on over and cast your vote because your band just might make the list.

Newport Folk Festival

all day and evening, today and tomorrow

If you’re in the Rhode Island area, get in your car right now and drive down to the Newport Folk Festival, our local annual music festival. Artists are playing all day today and tomorrow. You can check you more info on the schedule here! And here’s how to get there.

Check out NPR’s ‘All Songs Considered’ preview of the festival to get acquainted with some of the bands! You might have even heard of a couple of them.

And be sure to enjoy a lobster roll while you’re at the coast.
