While we had to endure rain on day one of the Newport Folk Festival, day two turned out to be a right nice. This is what it looked like through my lens.
Museum Stage
Museum Stage
Joe Fletcher curated the Museum Stage for the afternoon. I somehow managed to miss nearly everything over there. I did catch some of Bobby Bare, Jr.'s set and I did spot Mr. Fletcher across the field and managed to say hey to him.
Harbor Stage
The Quad Stage
I saw Father John Misty here, there and every where roaming the grounds...and even doing nothing but simply standing, he pulled off the nonchalant rock star thing effortlessly. He just has that look. He took the stage with what he described as strawberry moonshine...we now have what we describe as a music crush on Mr. Tillman.
This was one of my favorite sets of the day. And, if you happened to bump into Nicki Bluhm while strolling around the festival, then you know what a super nice, down to Earth, lady she is.
Jim James seems like a nice fella...we've exchanged pleasantries in passing. But Mr. James, your art apparently goes over my head. I don't understand. But there were a whole field full of people who did understand and did so enthusiastically.
The Avett Brothers closed out day two to an enthusiastic crowd. And, on a personal achievement note, I'm happy to say my Avett photo curse has been broken!
