The Newports - Let's Dance Again! (2022)

The Newports' upcoming show at The Acorn on June 24th is indeed our Last Dance. It's a decision we make in joy, not sadness, and with the upmost respect and love for one another and for all of you who have been with us on our musical journey. Some of you have followed us since our debut at Roosevelt Junior High, and others since we reconvened the band on The Acorn stage eight years ago. While "The Last Dance" will be our last live performance as a group, we will continue to distribute our music through our Cherry Ridge Records label. Three singles drop in the next five week, followed by the "Let's Dance Again" album on June 17th. More singles and another album will be released in the fall and our fourth album comes out in 2023.
The nine of us continue to make music. Mark, Terry, and Gene Nourie perform regularly with Scamp, and Mark has returned to The Nick Danger Band and other ensembles in the region too numerous to mention. Terry has the Calumet Band, Saxophones, and other musical projects. Jumpin' Gene, Jeff, and Bill will be introducing The Newport Blues Project at Three Oaks Music in the Park on Labor Day Weekend. Ralph continues with his awesome horn-based KGB Band, while Eddie and Darryl are emersed in the south suburban jazz scene. Music is our lives, and our lives are music. This always has been, and it always will be. We are fortunate to have been able to share with you, and we will continue to do so, in many ways. Our love to all of you. The Newports.
