Since its inception in 1959, the Newport Folk Festival has become that rarest of music events: an undeniable piece of American history. To capture the festival's timeless quality, Nashville photographer Giles Clement asked some of Newport's headliners, from Kris Kristofferson to Elvis Costello, to sit for clear-glass ambrotypes — a mid-19th century photography technique similar to tintypes. The results are stunning, depicting country, folk and rock artists in rich sepia tones reflective of their personalities and music.

The last time Elvis Costello played Newport billed as a solo performer in 2011, his voice was shot and he ended up bringing The Attractions (hmm?....JF) to mask it. This time through, his voice sounded damn magnificent, but he still brought along support to turn in a stellar set. Larkin Poe were surprisingly good foils for the iconic guitarist, bookending him with superb voices and instrumentals. Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s dirge-y version of “Side by Side” was one of the more unique songs of the festival, and as always, they provided a great backing band. So did Dawes on classics like “Every Day I Write the Book” and “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”, even if Costello kept mistakenly referring to them as “The Middle Brother”. (Yes, technically Dawes is the Middle Brother band, but still.) He re-teamed with Glen Hansard plus Preservation Hall Jazz Band for closer “The Scarlet Tide”, capping his set with another memorable moment in a string of them.

Elvis Costello was a busy man on Sunday, not only doing his own musically eclectic set, but also sitting in with Glen Hansard for a bit.
Costello offered old and new during his 65 minutes, going back to such songs as "Blame It On Cain" (a very fine and punchy at that) and "Every Day I Write the Book."
Costello was backed by a variety of acts, including sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, aka Larkin Poe, on mandolin and lap steel, to provide more of a country/roots sound. Middle Brother, Hansard and especially Preservation Hall Jazz Band all enjoyed stints on stage with Costello.
Costello, who had a few words for Trump, also played the piano man for several songs on the grand piano. He went single mic with the closing "The Scarlet Tide" where he received help from a few more musicians and even his roadie taking stanzas.
This, of course, was Costello light in that he didn't put in a full set (for him), but he made the most of his time

Glen Hansard had started his song “Lowly Deserter,” when he stopped and asked someone to come from backstage and play tambourine. Out popped Elvis Costello with a circular rattle in hand. Three songs later Costello returned to sing two verses on the old Brendan Behan folk song about prison, “The Auld Triangle” (aka “The Banks of the Royal Canal”). In between, Hansard and his unusual accompanist, jazz trombonist Curtis Fowlkes, played a version of Woody Guthrie’s “Vigilante Man” that seamlessly incorporated a certain presidential candidate into its tale of reactionary thuggery.
Costello began his own set as a trio: himself on acoustic guitar with the folk-rock duo Larkin Poe backing him up on mandolin and electric dobro. After four songs like that, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band came marching out on stage, the clarinet trilling and the tuba bleating. Costello introduced “Sulphur to Sugarcane” as “a song for the campaign season” and went on to impersonate a loathsome lothario who leers, “I wouldn’t cheat you, honey. When can I see you again?” Still later Costello joined the Dawes spin-off group Middle Brother to do a rousing version of “Everyday I Write the Book.”
Amid all these entrances and exits, Costello sat down alone at the piano and previewed a song from his work-in-progress, a stage musical based on the 1957 movie A Face in the Crowd about an amoral show-biz star who becomes a right-wing populist. “In this song,” Costello said, “he makes an appeal to your worst instincts. Not that it should remind you of anyone you know.”
Or maybe it should. Perhaps the best way to respond to this summer of blood and bluster is to take the sharpened weapon of humor and place it in the hand of the social-justice tradition that has been a part of American folk music as long as there’s been a Newport Festival to celebrate it.

Terresane O'Reilly-
Ah, us Waterford folk just can't help attracting attention everywhere we go!
We're also a talented bunch, as Bonmahon man Anthony Mulcahy proved when he was invited on stage at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island to sing "The Auld Triangle" with Glen Hansard and Elvis Costello!
Anthony was in the crowd taking photos and singing along for Glen's whole set when his fellow Irish man stopped and said to the crowd "I have to ask this man right here to help me out on this one" Anthony then handed his camera to a complete stranger in the front row who shot this pretty cool video of Anthony helping to entertain a crowd of over 25,000 people.
Anthony is in a band called "Those Sensible Shoes" but says Glen recognized him from a gig he played with another band in NYC.
Brilliant stuff!
