Noah Smith's Crooner Circus

Noah Smith's Crooner Circus brings a celebrated songwriter showcase to Newport. This monthly event features 6 to 9 original artists performing their own music and sharing the stories behind their songs. The lineup rotates regularly and has included Grammy-nominated performers, award-winning songwriters, and artists from around the world. What began as a grassroots gathering has grown into an established platform for both emerging and established musicians across the region. The evening centers on connection—between the performers sharing their craft and the audience experiencing live, original music. Whether the atmosphere feels intimate or energetic depends on who shows up, but the focus remains on authentic songwriting and storytelling. Tickets start at $21.43, and the event is all ages, making it accessible to families interested in live music and supporting local artists.
