A lot of nerds with instruments were on the loose this week, from Weezer to Devo to They Might Be Giants. But the cool kids like the Black Lips, Jill Scott, and JEFF the Brotherhood also did their thing, as did strummers like Colin Meloy, Gillian Welch, M. Ward, and Emmylou Harris, who all played this year’s Newport Folk Festival. And the best part of all this? We’ve got the pictures right here in our weekly concert slideshow. Let’s do this!
