During the 1960s, Bobby Blue Bland became one of the great storytellers of R&B, gospel blues and soul music. After his number 1 hit Further On Up The Road made waves, his songs charted regularly through the 1960s. Bland would eventually be inducted in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame. This original cardboard poster announced his appearance for a two-night run at the Ebony Club in Seattle during 1965.
This super rare cardboard poster was produced by the Tilghman Press company out of Oakland, California. Their promotional material had a consistent and familiar appearance to them, similar to classic boxing-style concert items from the early days of rock n roll. Very few original Tilghman Press posters exist today because they were printed in extremely small quantities!
Condition Details: Cardboard, paperloss, stains.
