ABOUT NEWPORT LIVE

Newport Live (formerly Common Fence Music) is a Rhode Island-based 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization whose mission it is to celebrate and preserve diversity in music traditions by creating community-based opportunities for cultural exchange.

Founded in 1993, and inspired by the small venue folk circuit of the 1960's and 70's, Common Fence Music was originally established to make quality folk music performances accessible to the members of the Common Fence Point community of Portsmouth, RI. Twenty-five years later, now as Newport Live, the concert series remains vibrant, presenting widely throughout Newport County, attracting audiences from all over New England to performances featuring GRAMMY award-winning songwriters and musicians, NEA National Heritage Fellows, and other highly acclaimed folk, Americana, jazz, and world music artists from across the globe.
