Photos capture country vibes under sunny skies at Boston Calling

The annual Boston Calling festival kicked off on Friday with headliners Ed Sheeran and Leon Bridges, continued into Saturday headlined by Tyler Childers and Trey Anastasio & Classic TAB and wrapped up Sunday night with The Killers and Hozier.

This year's festival featured sunny skies and warm temperatures to usher in summer.

Check out some of the photos from the festival:

Rhodes wore his signature baseball uniform and cap on stage. As a high schooler, he was on track to play college ball — then he taught himself how to play piano and began writing songs.

The festival's Orange Stage is dedicated to local and regional musicians. Rachael Wolff (left) plays electric and her older sister Rebecca is on acoustic. Kat, the youngest sister, plays keys. They all sing, sometimes on their own, often in harmony. Their family first lived in Hyde Park and later moved to Canton. They played "Boston Town," an anthem to the city.

Santino, the band's lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, grew up in Braintree.

Clancy, a Peabody native, told the audience he was a "homeless heroin addict" 10 years ago and "now here I am on stage at Boston Calling." Members of the Peabody Veteran Memorial High School a cappella group Full House accompanied Clancy and his bandmates on stage.

More than 20 local and regional acts played the Orange Stage over the weekend. JVK's name is an acronym for lead singer Joanna (Valerie) Krieger's name.

Rapp, who starred in the Broadway musical and movie "Mean Girls" performed a tune called "I Hate Boston" on Friday.

Bridges performed soulful R&B tunes including "River" and "Coming Home."

Sheeran's fans sang along as he played his popular songs including "The A Team" and "Thinking Out Loud."

Senseless Optimism is vocalist and guitarist Brittany Tsewole's musical alter ego. She hails from Lowell, and brought a gritty, old-school classic rock sound — along with some Robert Plant-style swagger — to the stage Saturday afternoon.

ToriTori is a genre-blending vocalist, songwriter, performer and producer.

Since 2007 Bad Rabbits has been delivering post-rock neo soul to the masses. The band played the first Boston Calling in 2013.

The Cincinnati-based band Motherfolk blends indie guitar rock and introspective lyrics. The band name is an anagram of of the first letter of the members' names.

d4vd, 19, recorded his song "Romantic Homicide" on his iPhone in 2022. At Boston Calling he did a backflip on stage before playing songs from his 2023 EPs "Petals to Thorns" and "The Lost Petals."

Boston band Paper Lady rocked the Orange Stage on Saturday with their ethereal noise tunes from their latest EP, "Traveling Exploding Guitar." Lead singer and guitarist Alli Raina dedicated their rendition of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" to her father, who traveled from Florida to see his daughter's performance.

Scituate's own Ward Hayden, and his band The Outliers, played their unique style of Massachusetts country on Saturday evening. They fit right in with the country vibes of the day, leading up to headlining Kentucky star Tyler Childers' set that closed that night at the festival.

Guitarist Anastasio, a founding member of the Vermont band Phish, delivered his signature style of improvisational jamming with Classic TAB (TAB is short for Trey Anastasio Band)

This 32-year-old artist captivated the audience with neotraditional country and bluegrass songs. His band's musicianship was astoundingly tight, and fans sang along with Childers' every word.

Alternative indie pop/punk artist Thev opened Day 3 at Boston Calling. He lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Brockton, where he started making music in high school.

The psych-garage rock group is based in Brooklyn.

Fans wearing pink cowboy hats packed the field for Missouri native and pop diva Chappell Roan. She owned the stage, channeling a goth/drag queen Cyndi Lauper-esque vibe.

Boston's own Fleshwater brought one of the heaviest, moshiest sets to the Boston Calling this year.

The air cooled with the setting sun when Irish singer songwriter Hozier took the stage. He sang the protest song "Nina Cried Power."

The Killers played "Mr. Brightside" twice: first, on the quiet side so the crowd could sing for them, and then again at full volume.
