Newport BAND / FOLK / LILLE

Folk band in Lille | Folk & country music for your events

Looking for a folk band in Lille to liven up a wedding, a private party, a corporate event or a cultural event? Newport invites you to embark on a musical journey to the heart of American folk music, from traditional songs to the greatest classics that have made history.

A journey through American folk music

The four musicians of Newport pay tribute to the roots of folk music by revisiting the first popular North American songs, Anglo-Saxon ballads and the works of the genre’s pioneers. From the first songsters to Woody Guthrie, the band revives an authentic music that shaped blues, country and rock.

The repertoire honors the greatest artists of American folk: Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Crosby, Stills & Nash, as well as many traditional songs from Scotland, Ireland and the United States.

A folk and country band in Lille

Based in Lille, Newport offers a warm concert where acoustic sounds take center stage. Acoustic guitars, banjo, double bass, harmonica, voices and vocal harmonies blend to create an intimate, elegant and friendly atmosphere.

The band also revisits several standards of country music, offering a repertoire that will appeal to traditional folk fans as well as to Americana and acoustic country enthusiasts.

La musique du peuple

Folk music is above all a music of transmission. Born from the popular songs of the 17th and 18th centuries, it tells the daily life of farmers, sailors, gold prospectors, cowboys and workers who came to build America.

Over the waves of immigration, Scottish, Irish and English musical traditions blended with African-American songs to give birth to a musical heritage of exceptional richness.

With artists like Woody Guthrie, whose famous guitar bore the inscription “This Machine Kills Fascists”, folk also becomes a powerful means of social and political expression.

Timeless music

Through its simplicity and authenticity, folk music crosses generations. It still inspires many musical styles today and adapts perfectly to acoustic arrangements.

Newport thus performs both the great folk classics and covers revisited in an acoustic spirit, offering a refined performance accessible to all audiences.
