The Newports Soul • Rock • Blues

Saturday, Nov. 28 | 8:00pm ET (7:00pm CT)

Classic RockR & B

The Newports, Harbor Country’s favorite blues/rock/soul ensemble, returns to the Acorn with both original songs and their own unique take on blues, rock and soul favorites. The Newports' roots are influenced by Chicago's south suburbs, circa mid-1960s, and their eclectic mix of blues, rock, funk, and soul reflects the south side vibe of that era. The band features a soulful four-piece horn section, the harmonica magic of Jumpin' Gene Halton, R&B keyboard and vocal stylings of Eddie Beard, and the high-energy guitar and vocals of wild man Mark Rongers.
