Also known as Mac Rebennack and The Night Tripper, the late great New Orleans boogie-woogie piano wizard DR JOHN is featured on this 1974 original poster designed by noted Texas artist Ken Featherston. Ken was a major figure in the history of Armadillo World Headquarters and met his tragic end by mistakenly being shot to death at the venue at the age of 23 in 1975.
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.
Condition: Edgewear, toning, handling, tape pull on reverse.
