Synopsis
At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan revolutionized the folk scene by going electric and making rock the voice of an entire generation, defining one of the most transformative moments in music of the 20th century. Scenes shot to depict the 1965 Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, where Bob Dylan first played an electric guitar in public, were filmed in the resort town of Cape May, New Jersey. Minimal renovation was required given the station’s commitment to being designated a National Historic Landmark due to its concentration of Victorian architecture as well as other 19th and 20th century architectural motifs.
