Photographers Notes: Roky Erickson. Austin Opry House 1977. I've known Roky since 1972. I don't have room here to discuss all that should be said about him. He's been called the father of psychedelic rock, and punk rock. His first real band, The 13th Floor Elevators, changed the arc of music everywhere with their influential albums from 1965, especially "Easter Everywhere".  Roky had, and still largely has the most amazing voice. Perfect for rock music. If it wasn't for the mental issues he's dealt with since his exposure to the medieval methods employed to treat mental illness in the late '60s, (shock treatments, etc) who knows how different his career might have been. In any case, the folks in Austin love and respect him. Here, he's looking pretty good. He is a genius, no doubt. 

You can add framing to your print purchase if needed, or simply order the print unframed. Our framing service is provided by a reputable, local professional custom framer here in Austin. Prints are framed in a classic museum-style frame using archival techniques. This consists of a 3" white matt, plain black wood surround, and conservation clear, UV-protected glass. Upgrade to non-glare museum glass for an additional fee.
