It was immortalized in Gary P. Nunn’s “London Homesick Blues.” It was the first place in Austin where rednecks and hippies came together to see the likes of Asleep at the Wheel, Commander Cody, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Jerry Jeff Walker and Frank Zappa. And, most importantly, it was the cultural universe of the 1970′s.
Known for its eclectic musical bookings, The Armadillo World Headquarters was also known for its production of unique concert posters. Poster artists such as JFKLN (Jim Franklin), Ken Featherston, Micael Priest, Guy Juke, Danny Garrett, Sam Yeats and Kerry Awn dazzled the eye with works of perfection. Their work was as individualistic as each artist; however, upon occasion they would mimic each other’s style or collaborate on a single piece.
These original concert posters have become as collectible as those from the Fillmore and Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco and continue to increase in value. Additional poster titles are available through YOTEX.
