Music fans unable to attend this summer's Newport folk and jazz festivals in person now can listen to at least some of the concerts online.
NPR Music, part of National Public Radio, plans to stream selected performances from both August festivals online. The Webcasts also will be archived and available on demand.
This is the first time NPR Music is Webcasting the heralded Newport festivals. The Newport Folk Festival runs Friday through Sunday, and the JVC Jazz Festival is next weekend.
Bob Boilen, host of the NPR Music show "All Songs Considered,'' says the initiative is a way to reach far more fans than can actually attend the concerts.
He also says it is a reflection of the excitement generated by the eclectic lineup of this year's folk festival, which includes Jimmy Buffett, Trey Anastasio and the Black Crowes.
