There were too many special moments to count at this year’s Newport Folk Festival 2019, and we have the photo gallery to prove it. From Dolly Parton making an unannounced appearance to Jim James singing with Kermit the Frog, the two Superjam headlining performances (“♀♀♀♀: The Collaboration” and “If I Had a Song”) packed plenty of surprises. But there was also a set from Trey Anastasio, Dawes celebrating the 10th anniversary of North Hills, Angie McMahon playing essentially a record release show, and country supergroup The Highwomen’s much anticipated debut.
As usual, Ben Kaye was there to capture as much of it as he could. Click ahead for the full gallery, and make sure to read our complete recap of NFF 2019.
