Item Description
22x34" thin cardboard poster advertises March 28, 1971 concert at Painters Mill Music Fair presented by "Tree Frog Productions" featuring Richie Havens and David Steinberg. Art features image of top hat-wearing man walking top hat-wearing frog on leash. The pair walks by individual poster images (each w/"TFP" heart designs) for each performer, as well as poster design for March 28 concert.
The Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, MD saw a rag-tag group of hippies (under the moniker Tree Frog Productions) create a 16-month party promoting concerts at Painter's Mill Music Fair. The venue was constructed for theatrical plays and featured 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 famed concert series.
Poster has some handling wear w/1.5" tear at lower left and some margin/corner creases. Right margin has some darker areas of staining at upper and lower right. Fine overall.
