Rodney SF Tours

We'll view iconic posters used to promote rock music events in San Francisco and meet a group of artists known as the Big 5.

<p>The folk-rock music of mid-1960s San Francisco included an exciting visual counterpoint:  the trippy designs used to advertise musical lineups at The Fillmore and other local venues.  The posters  themselves became a celebrated art form, and the era is remembered not just for its psychedelic sounds but for these fascinating and often confounding images, too.</p><p>Russ Bertetta attended some of the historic shows they advertised and later collected posters of the era.  He will join Rodney Paul to discuss the Big 5, a group of artists whose distinctive designs defined the genre.  We'll see video of the top-billed musicians and watch excerpts of interviews with the artists.  We'll also talk about some contemporary artists who follow in their footsteps.</p>
