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.
Holly Williams, daughter to Hank Williams, Jr. and no stranger to the lifestyle of a musician, made the perfect subject for one of Blanton’s photo essays, goofing around with old cameras before performing for the adoring ACL crowd. Check out Blanton’s photos in the gallery below.
