The Newport Folk Festival schedule listed the mid-afternoon slot on the schedule To Be Determined.
Whoever made the determination to put the Austin-based band on the roster of artists on closing day deserves a big raise.
Black Pumas pretty much walked away with the festival with their mid-afternoon gig on the main stage of high energy funk, soul and psychedelically-tinged blues. Lead singer Eric Burton easily overcame early microphone issues with confident swagger quickly connecting with the enthusiastic fandom.
