At Austin City Limits this year, photographer Kristen Blanton had the chance to catch up with a few of Paste‘s favorite acts on the lineup, mingling with the bands backstage and documenting what it’s like to be a touring musician at a big festival.
Check out Blanton’s backstage moments with Shouting Matches, the band comprised of Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, Volcano Choir), Phil Cook (Megafaun) and Brian Moen (Peter Wolf Crier) in the gallery.
