Newport Folk Festival & The Suffers Present: “With A Little Help From Our Friends”

On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall with the Gulf Coast and began to wreak havoc across Texas with its torrential downpours, high winds, and resulting floods. One such city that was inundated by days of relentless rain was Houston. Within 48 hours, homes were under water, streets un-drivable, even un-walkable, and lives changed forever. Though it may appear that the city has already “rebuilt” itself, with downtown commuters back in their normal office routines, restaurants open and serving happy patrons, and some lives tuned back into normalcy, the reality is that many Houstonians are still suffering nearly four months after the horrendous natural disaster and the city has a long way to regaining normalcy for all of its citizens.
