Henry Lowenstein and partners purchased the festival and will locate it in Miami in April 2008. They also purchased the 13th Fret Forum. See Miami Herald article and audio interview: Here He is very enthusiastic about the project and I hope it will be a success. I know I'll be there!! |

Thanks Keith. I've never been to Miami, but I could dig it. Good luck to Lowenstein and the Newport Guitar Festival. And fond tidings to Julius Borge, it was his baby, now all grown up. |

Bummer. I was hoping it would stay "local". It was a nice event here every other year. Now there's nothing really in the northeast again. I work only 20 minutes from the Newport event location, and live only an hour away. I doubt that I will ever attend the Miami event unless I go back to building seriously again and somehow get invited to participate. A truly unlikely occurance. On the bright side, the gentleman who purchased it and is moving it to Miami seems like he will be good for the event, as he is a coolector and wants to see it succeed for a number of good reasons according to the article. I hope it really succeeds. I'm happy for Julius though, as this continues his fine work in getting this event going. I know he was overwhelmed by it at times, and wanted to get out from under running it but still see it continue. |

Does anyone have contact information for the new owner? I would like to apply for a table at the April Festival. |

If it's moving to Miami, then surely it can't be the 'Newport' Guitar Festival? It'll be the Miami Guitar Festival or am I missing something. Weird. Colin |
