Event Photography: Tucson Folk Festival 2010
May 11th, 2010The first weekend of May is generally when summer returns and breathes its fiery breath all over Tucson and southern Arizona.
Not this year. If you didn't bring a sweater and raincoat to this year's Tucson Folk Festival, you wouldn't have been very happy. And that would have been a shame, because the 2010 event was heralded as the best ever.
I'm a little biased about that last point because I was the Folk Festival's official photographer. In two days, I covered three stages and 36 acts. Here are three:
From the Courtyard Stage, the Mas o Menos String Band...
From the Old Town Artisans Stage, Tiffany Jo Allen...
From the Plaza Stage, Saturday evening's headliner, Chris Hillman, formerly of The Byrds...
In order of appearance at the 2010 Tucson Folk Festival, here's a complete list of the performers I photographed:
