Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers

Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers bring their high-energy roots rock sound to Newport this summer. Hailing from Austin, Texas, the band delivers passionate, piano-driven music with influences spanning Bruce Springsteen's raw intensity to Jerry Lee Lewis's showmanship, all wrapped in Southern soul and Gulf Coast grooves. The real spectacle? Nik Parr plays saxophone and piano simultaneously—a rare live experience worth witnessing. The band maintains a grueling touring schedule of over 150 shows annually and has shared stages with major roots music acts including Marc Broussard, Rebirth Brass Band, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. This is an all-ages show, so families can enjoy the performance together. Doors open early, giving you time to settle in before the music starts. Heavy Hinges, a blues-rock ensemble, will also perform. Tickets are available starting at $27.28, making this an accessible outing for music-loving families interested in roots and soul-influenced rock.
