We're pleased to offer this Texas rarity for the FIRST TIME in our auction! This poster was produced for a spring show featuring the great country music legend Willie Nelson! Original Armadillo Posters are much harder to find when they are extra special like this one here because it's DOUBLE SIGNED by Willie Nelson in marker & artist Micael Priest in pen! Best of all it's in Museum Quality Condition with no nicks cuts tears or pinholes!
Willie Nelson's vast and rich musical legacy is well known. This poster just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of Texas material owned by a long time resident and participant of the Austin music scene! The Armadillo World Headquarters opened in Austin just after the closing of the Vulcan Gas Company. It went on to become the premiere venue in that musically rich city from 1970-1980. This legendary club offered an incredibly eclectic range of performers in its 10 year tenure. The posters from these shows represent one of the greatest collections of poster art available anywhere.
Demand for Armadillo material is currently at an all time high and we see this as just the early days in a long trend. This can be attributed to several reasons including scarcity historical significance as ground zero in the Texas psychedelic scene and the recently published book on the venue "Armadillio World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh.
