Bryce Dessner booked yet another impressive lineup for his annual MusicNOW Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio over the weekend, including Sharon Van Etten, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, Little Scream, Shara Worden, Doug Keith, Owen Pallett, Megafaun, Tim Hecker, The National, and many others. By all accounts — such as Vernon’s morning-after blog post describing Friday night as an “insanely humbling evening of music” — the festivities were a wonderfully collaborative event. Today (h/t Everybody Taste), we can catch a glimpse at what went down via three excellent videos filmed by A Story Told Well. You can watch Vernon and Van Etten perform a reimagined version of a song recorded by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, Shara Worden unveil new material, and more in the clips below:
