I was first introduced to the Rhythm & Roots Festival in 2012 when I was assigned to cover it for SO Rhode Island, a local magazine. It made sense to bring the large format camera to set up a portrait studio backstage. I photographed the artists in a semi-formal setting that spoke to everything roots music represents.
What is "Roots" music? It is a style of music that includes folk music from a variety of American and French Canadian cultures.
In any case, this weekend is always a lot of fun for me and a story to follow. Here are some images from the past years.
