Rolling Record Store at Newport
The full announcement is now at http://www.newportfolkfest.net/
The 2011 acts include Devil Makes Three, Earl Scruggs
Plus Third Man's Rolling Record Store... If you haven't seen Jack White's Rolling Record Store, check out this video teaser.
Jack White and Seasick Steve did a couple of songs in front of the van at SXSW. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him at Newport, since he played on and/or produced records with both Wanda Jackson and Secret Sisters.

"Color Me Obsessed" at IFFBoston 2011
"Color Me Obsessed"
the potentially true story of the last best band, The Replacements
The new documentary film on The Replacements will be shown at Independent Film Festival Boston, Apr 27 - May 4. Films will be shown at Sommerville, Brattle, and Coolidge Corner Theatres, as well as Stuart Street Playhouse.
I don't have specific info on this film, but am hoping to catch it. There are a few Boston musicians in the film (Dave Minehan, Dan Zanes), so hopefully there will be a Q&A session.
