Historical Mark from Newport, RI
Episode 2
Wednesday, 5 November, 2025
We had a high spirited, wide ranging, on site, but chilly visit with Dr. Mark Stickney, founder of the Historic Music of Newport Foundation. Mark has combined his roots from historic Newport, Rhode Island music festivals that he and his family were a big part of beginning in his childhood through a 20+ college teaching career and now returning full circle back to Newport. The Foundation, founded in 2022, under Mark and his outstanding board of directors are making great contributions to revealing the fascinating history of music in Newport, Rhode Island through the 1800’s to present. They have catalogued over 1,000 pieces of music, researched over 900 musicians and much more while disseminating the information through their website, publications and visits to schools and conferences.
