Editor's Note: We're usually in no short supply of praise for Newport Folk Festival, but the Saturday session yesterday at this year's edition at Fort Adams State Park was transcendent. Capped by a stirring performance of both song and poetry from punk icon Patti Smith, the day and early evening featured a handful of standout sets, most notably Amy Helm, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and Ryan Adams. Vanyaland's Matthew Shelter was once again in the middle of it all, capturing images of the aforementioned as well as looks at Norah Jones, Father John Misty, Del And Dawg, Graham Nash, and Margo Price. Revisit Shelter's recap of Friday's Day 1 at Newport Folk, and stay tuned for a visual recap of today's third and final day of the festival, starring Alabama Shakes, Julien Baker, Elvis Costello, and others.
