Photographer Carrie Robinson shot these pics at last weekend’s first No Depression Festival at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Wash.

The lineup included Gillian Welch, Iron & Wine (Sam Beam), Patterson Hood and the Screwtopians, Jesse Sykes at the Sweet Hereafter, Justin Townes Earle, Jessica Lea Mayfield, a No Depression All Star Revue (with Sera Cahoone, Kristen Ward, Mark Pickerel and others) and Zee Avi.

No Depression is an online music magazine dedicated to Americana, alternative country and roots music. It takes its name from the 1990 Uncle Tupelo album, as well as a 1936 Carter Family song, “No Depression in Heaven.”

Watch a YouTube video of Sheryl Crow performing the song. (Crow did not perform at the festival.)
