Last weekend, Paste hit the south’s marquee music fest where The Lemon Twigs, The xx, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Weeknd converged. In between sprinting between stages, photographer Sarah Hess met with 31 bands and artists for a series of intimate portraits. The gallery above offers a more mellow reflection of the pockets of time musicians occupy between entertaining endless seas of fans. Check back this weekend for photos from Firefly Festival and Eaux Claires.
