Friends Of The Waterfront

In 2025, New England Music Organization booked artists, ran sound, and handled promotion for the series – taking place on select Fridays and Saturdays at the King Park Gazebo in Newport. The series brought together an eclectic lineup of local, national, and international artists in a stunning waterfront setting. Performers included blues legend James Montgomery and his band, French duo La Mechante Et Le Connard, R&B rocker Melo Green, and electronic ambient pop group pets. The series concluded with an Irish heritage celebration featuring Turas. The series continued its mission of pairing accessible live music with community gathering and coastal appreciation.
