502 Washington Ave A, Newport

Hours: Mon–Thu 3pm–12am · Fri 11am–1am · Sat 10am–1am · Sun 1pm–12am

It’s pre war blues, old school country, southern gospel and the history behind the music. John Ford assimilates the blues of the 1920’s and 30’s, the blues of Robert Johnson and Son House, a bit of 1940's country and a pinch of gospel rhythm, and comes up with his own brand of the roots experience.
