Josh Conway is no stranger to music festivals. As a key creative force behind The Marías, he has been to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with the band three times — the most recent trip just earlier this month. As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Conway has also held his own DJ sets, incorporating the dreamy soundscape of The Marías to his own work.

Conway got to exhibit his producing talents during his own set at Goldenvoice Surf Club on April 19, a musical lineup at the Palm Springs Surf Club. As the sun beat down, the air buzzed with anticipation for performances that guaranteed to bring the desert to life. Conway engaged the crowd with a set centered around intricate rhythms and melodies, mirroring the carefree energy of the day. This photo diary offers a window in the atmosphere of that Saturday, exhibiting Conway's easygoing approach from the minute he woke up to his post-set interviews. Take a look behind-the-scenes, from backstage at The Marías' Coachella performance to the green room at Conway's Surf Club set.
