A Sneak Peek at The Prescott Park Arts Fest Lineup
Find out which artists will perform on the Portsmouth stage this summer.

When the revealed over the weekend that , we couldn't wait to find out who else was going to be playing the seaside stage this summer.
Fortunately, we didn't have to. Though the schedule won't be officially unveiled until Friday, a list of the artists who will be performing is available now at the River House restaurant, the main sponsor of the arts festival. All you need to do is stop in and grab a bite to eat. So we did just that on Tuesday, stopping in for lunch (the open-faced ham and cheese sammy was fantastic, by the way).
What we learned is that in addition to DiFranco, some big names like Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin and the Cowboy Junkies will play the Prescott Park Arts Festival this summer. Some of the other artists include the Grammy award-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops, the Irish quintet Lunasa, The Duhks, Iris DeMent, Irish fiddle champion Eileen Ivers, Lake Street Dive, Peter Yarrow, and Hot Club of Cowtown.

We won't give away the dates of this summer's shows yet, though. For that you'll have to either head over to the River House yourself or wait for Friday's official announcement.
