Folk Fest will draw Phish-heads

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) - Phish-heads and Parrot-heads, unite!

Trey Anastasio, the former Phish lead singer, has been added to
the Newport Folk Festival, joining Jimmy Buffett, the Black Crowes
and Levon (luh-VON') Helm.

Other new additions include alt-country band Son Volt and 1960s
folkster Richie Havens, who performed at Woodstock.

It's Anastasio's first time playing the famed festival, and
organizers say it'll be his first-ever full solo acoustic show.

Phish broke up in 2004, but still have a devoted following and
reunited Wednesday evening at the Jammy Awards in New York City.

The folk festival lineup also includes Cat Power, Cowboy Junkies
and Jakob Dylan.

The festival is scheduled for August 1-3 at Fort Adams State
Park in Newport.
