JUST ANNOUNCED! The Swell Season is officially bac JUST ANNOUNCED! The Swell Season is officially back — and they’re bringing all the heartbreak and harmony to @newportfolkfest. @glenhansard and @marketa_irglova, the duo behind the Oscar-winning anthem “Falling Slowly” and the cult film Once, have added a major date to their highly anticipated 2025 reunion tour: a Sunday afternoon set on the Fort Stage at the Newport Folk Festival. Their return comes after a 16-year recording silence, broken only recently by the release of Forward, an album that feels like a letter from old friends — tender, wise, and deeply human. It’s everything fans hoped for and more. Newport marks a milestone moment in the tour. Known for its deep reverence for songcraft and storytelling, the festival is the perfect stage for the pair’s brand of stripped-down, emotionally loaded folk. Their set is scheduled for Sunday, July 27 at 3:20 p.m., and it’s already being talked about as one of the must-see performances of the weekend. After more than a decade apart, The Swell Season isn’t just playing the hits — they’re writing a new chapter. If Once was about falling in love, Forward is about what comes after. And yes, they still sound like no one else. #theswellseason #glenhansard #marketairglova #newportfolkfest #newportbuzz #newportri
We’re thrilled to share that Bailey has found he We’re thrilled to share that Bailey has found her forever home—and it’s truly a story of fate. She’s now with a Navy veteran and his wife, who were heartbroken after losing their beloved lab just three months ago. From the moment Bailey arrived, it was instant love on both sides. They’ve had five dogs before, and it’s clear Bailey will be cherished, pampered, and deeply loved. This incredible match came together thanks to you. Within 24 hours of posting, the former owner, who has to leave the country with the United Nations, received 38 calls and emails from Newport Buzz readers offering help. In the end, it was the couple’s daughter who saw the post, called immediately, and got her parents on board. The connection was undeniable. As Bailey rested calmly beside the new owner, licking his hand, he quietly said, “It’s my birthday today… this is the best gift I’ve ever received.” Thank you all for your kindness, support, and swift action. Bailey’s story now has the happy ending she deserves. #newportri #newportbuzz
State Rep. Lauren H. Carson is leading the push to State Rep. Lauren H. Carson is leading the push to stop Brown University Health from closing the Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center at Newport Hospital. In a letter signed by all five Aquidneck Island state representatives, including Terri Cortvriend, Michelle McGaw, Marvin Abney, and Alex Finkelman, the group urges hospital leaders and Brown University Health to keep the birthing center open and hold a public hearing on the island before making any final decisions. The birthing center, which opened in 1995 and was named after Newport philanthropist Noreen Stonor Drexel, received the World Health Organization and UNICEF’s “Baby Friendly” designation in 2004 for its support of breastfeeding and maternal care. The lawmakers argue that the closure would significantly impact women, infants, and families across Newport County, particularly low-income households and those without transportation who would be forced to travel off-island for prenatal and delivery services. In the letter, the legislators point to the large number of young families stationed at the Newport Naval base who rely on the birthing center and cite increased state funding for hospitals as part of the recently enacted state budget. That includes $38 million in additional hospital reimbursements and direct support, along with more than $40 million in added funds for primary care. Nearly 200 residents and healthcare professionals packed Newport City Hall this week as the City Council passed a resolution opposing the closure. While Newport Hospital Foundation Board Chair Carol Bazarsky addressed the council, Brown University Health Executive Vice President Sarah Frost and Newport Hospital President Dr. Tenny Thomas — the letter’s recipients — did not attend. The lawmakers have requested that Frost and Thomas hold a public hearing in Newport in August to hear directly from island residents affected by the proposed closure. #newporthospital #newportri #newportbuzz
