This weekend, June 5th & 6th, The Blot will be attending Houston’s Free Press Summerfest, a indie rock music festival at Eleanor Tinsley Park. For a local, small music festival, Summerfest has a surprisingly strong lineup, which includes The Flaming Lips, Girl Talk, Bun B (of UGK), Slim Thug, Ra Ra Riot, Mix Master Mike, Medeski Martin & Wood, Stars, Kid Sister, Dead Prez, Detroit Cobras, Lymby System and Lucero. Best of all, a weekend pass only cost $25!
What’s even cooler is that Jermaine Rogers, one of The Blot’s favorite artists, was commissioned to create the official poster art for the Free Press Summerfest this year (seen below). Not only that, but Jermaine is being brought to Houston to exhibit his poster-art onsite at the Festival! I’ve gotten to meet Jermaine a few times and he is truly an incredible artist who enjoys interacting with his fans. If you’re in the Houston area, be sure to hit up the Free Press Summerfest this weekend and stop by Jermaine’s booth to see (and purchase) some awesome art.
The limited edition Free Press Summerfest poster by Jermaine Rogers will be available at the festival in very limited numbers, along with various other Jermaine rarities, including some prints not available for a while now. Jermaine’s tent will be prominently located near the main stage. Jermaine will be there and looks forward to seeing everyone who drops by. Tubes will also be available for all poster sales, and there will be arrangements for your purchases to be held for you until the end of the days show.
The Free Press Summerfest print measures approximately 30”x20” and is screen printed in brilliant pastel colors. This print has a signed and numbered edition of only 100 prints, but there will also be a couple of very limited variants that will available in even small quantities. A limited number of these prints will be held back for an upcoming online sale, including the Facebook Foil Edition.
