The sold-out Newport Folk Festival has added Sheryl Crow to its growing 2019 roster, with the singer-songwriter performing on Friday, July 26.

Previously announced artists for Newport 2019 include Trey Anastasio, Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band, Dawes, Kacey Musgraves, Stephen Marley, Rayland Baxter, Lukas Nelson, Lake Street Dive and more.

As part of Crow's addition to Newport, the festival has made a donation in her name to Adopt A Classroom, which gives teachers money for classroom supplies and other educational materials they can't usually afford.

“Teaching is the most important job that exists," Crow said in an official statement. "That's why I am such a big fan of AdoptAClassroom.org.”
