I haven't been down to Ninigret Park in Charlestown, RI in a few years, but there are some compelling reasons to return this year, even though traveling partner Johnny Gumbo is camped out in the Great Northwest. Looking over the preliminary listing (below), Saturday seems to be a pretty cool lineup - Hot Tuna, Asleep at the Wheel, Steve Riley, Tab Benoit, Big Sandy & the Flyrite Boys, etc. The festival runs from Fri-Sun 9/4-9/6.
