Item Description
22x32" on cardboard. Advertising NYE show at Painters Mill Music Fair Additional acts include; Sea Train, Joshua, Glory Road and Grin (featuring future Bruce Springsteen E Street Band guitarist Niles Lofgren.) Signed in print Michael Goldberg, the art is indicative of Winsor McCay. Additional text of note "Tree Frog Presents On New Years Eve A Sound, Sight And Taste Spectacular" and "Party Begins At 8:30 Balloons, Freak-Outs, And Delights Plus Free Breakfast After The Show." Tack hole in right design affecting glasses held by figure bearing an uncanny resemblance to Maggie from Bringing Up Father. Also a thin band of age toning along right edge otherwise only moderate handling and corner wear. Fine and will frame to VF. Superb graphics, horizontal format, and extremely limited distribution make this a standout.
The Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, MD at the dawn of the 1970s saw a rag-tag group of hippies, under the moniker Tree Frog Productions, take a trust fund and turn it into a 16 month party promoting concerts at Painter's Mill Music Fair. The venue was constructed for theatrical plays featuring a revolving stage for productions in the round. "It was kind of the area's version of what was happening at the Fillmore in San Francisco" says Ron Nix, a regular attendee and collector who had the foresight to preserve a selection of posters produced for advertising the infamous concert series. This NYE show was a memorable one for Nix who recalls "Everyone got snowed in, it was the perfect makings for a grand party. An exceptional show, I recall some 'spiked' apple cider and by breakfast things were a blur."
