music {video} monday: #newportfolkfest

Today I will be sharing the many musical adventures from the Newport Folk Festival. It was such a great line-up this year and I am so so grateful to have been there and seen all the talent that I did. So here we go...

the harbor

Point Judith. The lighthouse from Moonrise Kingdom

Ben Sollee (the allstar from the weekend) having Apache Relay help him play a Paul Simon song. I almost died it was so perfect.

 First Aid Kit. So so talented, and obsessed with the song Emmylou.

Two photos of The Head and The Heart because they were that good folks.

 Jim James (Yim Yames) during the My Morning Jacket set wearing a cape. Yep that's right a cape.

The guys from Punch Brothers just looked like they were having a blast... can't you tell from this photo.

Sugarman or Rodriguez. Truly an amazing story. I was so grateful to get see him play, even if it was through the window on the backside of the building.

The Tallest Man on Earth, more like The Largest Crowd. Seriously was anyone else listening to someone else play? Here is my panorama from my phone of the crowd. 

And I'll Leave you with two videos for today.

A trailer for the documentary "The Search for Sugarman"

And The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit

I'll have more videos from the other artists in coming music {video} mondays.

Spirit Family Reunion

My favorite show from the Newport Folk Festival this year (and that's saying something). They play around one microphone and sound just lovely. Their sound is very revival & bluegrass.

Spirit Family Reunion "GREEN ROCKY ROAD" from Possum Den Productions on Vimeo.

Here are a few photos I shot during their set.

ps. this is my first post from my house! we have internet, no matter how crappy it is it's better than nothing.
