The Low Anthem, featured in FLYP’s special music issue, recently played a remarkable set at the 50th annual Newport Folk Festival—sharing billing with artists as folksy as Pete Seeger and Joan Baez and bands as ‘indie’ as The Decemberists and Fleet Foxes. The trio pulled out literally dozens of different instruments for their one hour set, most of which drew from their recent Nonesuch Records debut, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin.
