Jay Blakesberg (Legendary Rock Photographer), Part 2

Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!!  Join us for the conclusion of this special two-part interview with legendary rock photographer, Jay Blakesberg.  Jay has been documenting live music -- the artists and the scene for over 40 years and is still going strong.  He has been published over 300 times in Rolling Stone magazine alone in addition to other major music publications such as Relix, Spin and Guitar Player Magazine among others.  In this episode we explore the aspect of the rock photographer as portrait artist and what it takes to get Jerry Garcia, Neil Young and other luminaries, for example, to sit down for a photoshoot.  But the heart of the matter for me is Jay's stellar live show photography and we'll get into Jay's style and how he's gotten such great access over the years beginning with an amazing Led Zeppelin story.  We also talk about Jay's documentation of the live music scene and what that's like in the jam band world.  Jay is also currently working of several new books to be published this year.  You can find more info about Jay's books at his website:  http://www.blakesberg.com or his publishing company, Rock Out Books.  Cheers, and rock on!!For more information: http://www.roadcasepod.comTo support Roadcase on Patreon, please visit: http://www.patreon.com/roadcasepodContact: [email protected]
