The Taj Mahal & Keb’ Mo’ Band – Live at the Philadelphia Folk Festival
Directed from the CCI Production truck by Karen Tappenden, this performance was captured in stunning High Definition. Like all performances at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, this set was brought to life by a dedicated team of volunteers. 🎶
📸 Love the music? Take a piece of it home. Karen also photographed a striking image of the performer’s guitar during this set — now available for purchase. A perfect keepsake for fans of the blues and folk legends.

Darlingside preforms their music around a single microphone which makes directing a bit of a challenge with 3 cameras on tripods and one handheld camera operator. All operators a volunteers at the Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Handheld camera operator on stage is a blast especially with performers who love the camera. Tempest has played at the Philadelphia Folk Festival quite a lot and are a crowd pleaser.

Natalie MacMaster CM is a Canadian fiddler from the rural community of Troy in Inverness County, Nova Scotia, who plays Cape Breton fiddle music. MacMaster has toured with the Chieftains, Faith Hill, Carlos Santana and Alison Krauss, and has recorded with Yo-Yo Ma. I shot this tweener to tease an upcoming set.
