Newport Festivals Foundation and Nathanial Rateliff have partnered up to provide over $30K worth of music instruments to underserved music programs in Greeley, CO.

To celebrate the donation, Nathanial invited the students backstage for his sold out show at the Mission Ballroom. Nathanial took questions from the students about what it’s like to be a professional musician and how he got to where he is today.

This gift was made possible through NFF’s partnership with KEEN and direct support from Nathaniel Rateliff, Take Note Colorado, The Marigold Project, the Bohemian Foundation, and you, our fans. Together, we are helping to grow the next generation of artists and music lovers.

“The Night Sweats and I have supported Take Note Colorado since its inception and believe in its mission to provide access to music instruments and education for all students in Colorado. Thank you to the Newport Folk Festival for helping push this forward.” – Nathanial Rateliff
