This year’s Newport Folk Festival delivered no shortage of memorable moments across its stages, from Hayley Williams’ surprise appearance at Jack Antonoff and Bleachers’ headlining set to Geese frontman Cameron Winters’ stunning piano-in-a-field performance. But one of Newport’s greatest charms is that artists rarely just play their set and jet — they often linger all weekend, mingling backstage with Folk Family and fellow musicians, awaiting their next sit-in appearance.
We were right there with them, soaking up the weekend’s magic with cameras in hand. For the past few weeks, we’ve been rolling out behind-the-scenes interviews with folks like John C. Reilly , Maren Morris , and I’m With Her ; there’s plenty more of those to come, so make sure to follow Consequence on Insta
