Earlier this week we featured live shots from the annual High Water Festival in Riverfront Park in North Charleston, highlighted by sets from Lord Huron, Julien Baker & Torres, Waxahatchee, and more. It was the first year of the festival without involvement from its founders Shovel & Rope, but the lineup stayed true to showcasing a strong mix of established names and buzzing newcomers across genres.
Photographer Josh Darr caught up with many of the fest's stars backstage to capture candid portraits. Check them out below, and take a look at our full coverage from High Water 2025 here.
