Episode 283: Newport Folk Festival Series Part 1 with Kevin Morby, Tyler Ballgame and Tyler-James Kelly

I’m kicking off this Part 1 of a three-part series of interviews from @newportfolk with indie legend Kevin Morby, followed by two Rhode Island natives and Newport Folk first-time performers Tyler Ballgame and Tyler-James Kelly.

Kevin Morby is truly an artist’s artist, who has produced a plethora of stellar albums, each with a unique vision and vibe, but also similar in their vision and commitment to self-reflection. Kevin really puts it all out there; he’s thoughtful and insightful and a joy to talk to. 

Tyler Ballgame grew up in Providence, RI and attended Berklee School of Music before heading out to LA, where he found his community along with his true self. His live show is super compelling and he is truly coming into his own as an artist.

Tyler-James Kelly is an all-timer. He’s an old soul with a golden voice, the gift of gab, and a great sense of humor. Combine all that together with his devotion to the music of the 70s, and you’ve got a truly special artist. His new album, Dream River is out now!!
