In 1988 when I first started booking shows, I began to do a poster series. Following the old standard set by the San Francisco artists like Kelly and Mouse, I used an 11 x 17 format and also a smaller post card type of size. The first one I did was with a great Detroit (Grande Ballroom, Eastown, et al) artist named Gary Grimshaw. He signed a number of them. Back in those days I would run 200 posters in total. Some were placed around town, most ended up stored away. The Tom Russell Band were featured in that poster. It still looks good today.
After that poster my budget got smaller and a local artist named Duke Shell did a few for us. Then a great artist named Bill Stinson did a couple. He did a very cool one for shows for Robert Earl Keen and Townes Van Zandt.
What we have for sale here are the last ones that remain, in a run that is likely not ever going to be replicated again. If anyone has questions about any of them, leave me a post and I will get back to you....
It is snowing here again. A foot deep and rising....
Gotta go stoke the fire and warm things up with a little music.
