Megafaun Live From The Newport Folk Festival

The North Carolina band has a knack for blending classic-rock traditionalism with a real ear for experimentation. The songs on last year's self-titled album can whisper or rage, meander or kick. Megafaun performs here as part of the 2012 Newport Folk Festival, recorded live on Friday, July 27 in Newport, R.I.
