Typhoon, Live In Concert: Newport Folk 2011

July 30, 2011Hear the 17-member indie-folk band bring its soul-stirring beauty to the Harbor Stage at Newport.

Portland, Ore., has bred or attracted so many tremendous indie-folk musicians that they're getting stuffed into bigger and bigger bands to make room for everyone. A collective that swells from seven to as many as 17 members, Typhoon is built for soul-stirring beauty on a grand scale. Conceived by singer Kyle Morton as a vehicle for grandiose uplift, Typhoon hammers his points home with ambitious swells of brass and strings. At the 2011 Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I., the group will finally command a stage big enough for what it throws down on its marvelous new EP, A New Kind of House.

  • CPR/Claws Pt. 1
  • The Common Sentiment
  • Summer Home
