1966 Mississippi Fred McDowell Jabberwock Berkeley Poster Near Mint 89

Many music enthusiasts consider a genuine Delta Blues singer, Mississippi Fred McDowell, to be the first North Hill Country blues artist to achieve widespread recognition for his work. Here, he appeared at the Jabberwock in Berkeley for a 3-night run in 1966. 

The Jabberwock started as a successful jazz club in the early sixties until it was purchased by Bill "Jolly Blue" Ehlert in 1965. Ehlert converted much of the venue’s performances to a more psychedelic sound. In 1966, Ehlert hired Jesse Cahn, who had been a guest drummer for the Chambers Brothers, to co-manage the Jabberwock while he ran the Matrix in San Francisco. Very few of these original posters have survived the test of time in ANY condition.
