Saturday at the 2025 Newport Folk Festival ended with one of the weekend’s standout moments. As the sun set over Fort Adams, Luke Combs closed the day with a stripped-down version of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car.” It was simple and sincere, and the crowd hung on every note—a quiet, powerful highlight that put an exclamation point on a beautiful day of music on Newport Harbor. #newportfolkfest #lukecombs #newportbuzz #newportri | Newport Buzz
