Front Row Center: Icons of Rock, Blues, and Soul
“The job, as I see it, is to create a final image that portrays equally the public spectacle of the show and the private style and passion of the musician.”
-Larry Hulst
Front Row Center charts photographer Larry Hulst’s extraordinary path through the pulsing heart of the most exciting live music of the twentieth century, showcasing a unique visual anthology of rock, blues and soul music from 1970-1999. From Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix to David Bowie and Lauryn Hill, this exhibition brings together over 70 images of legendary musicians, many of which have been featured on album art and Rolling Stone spreads. Front Row Center grants viewers an all-access pass to some of the most memorable performances in popular music history.
This traveling exhibition is an adaptation of Thirty Years of Rock & Roll: Photography by Larry Hulst, curated by the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and later presented at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center as Front Row Center: Icons of Rock, Blues and Soul.
