This is a rare original handbill that advertised a run of Big Brother shows at the Matrix in ’66. This was before Janis Joplin joined the band. The art was designed by Wes Wilson however he is not credited. The Matrix was an early club that hosted many Blues and folk acts along with the emerging San Francisco sound. Managed by the Airplane’s Marty Balin the matrix served as an early showcase for the band. Ads like this were distributed freely during the day but very few have survived. This one is a real find and it's amazing how it remained in such good condition all this time. Original Handbills are RED HOT! Read our blog dated 5/18/18 to learn more!
