Famed Concert Photographer John Cavanaugh Announces Rocktography Photo Exhibit and the Asbury Park Music Storytellers Series
Asbury Park, NJ (PHANTOM POWER PRODUCTIONS, www.phantompowerproductions.com) May 8,
2006 – Famed concert photographer John Cavanaugh announces
Rocktgraphy, a new photo exhibition featuring a vast sampling of
Cavanaugh’s concert photography from the past 15 years accompanied
by The Asbury Park Music Storytellers Series highlighting some of
the communities most prominent independent singer/songwriters. Named
for Cavanaugh’s online gallery, Rocktography.info, the exhibition
will run from June 3rd through September 30, 2006 at Red Fusion
Bistro / Bar, 662 Cookman Avenue, Asbury Park, New Jersey. The
Gallery will be open from 11:30am until Closing Everyday.
Rocktography originally debuted in July of 2002 in Sulli Studios,
the historic old Asbury Park Press building. Shortly thereafter
Stone Pony Management joined forces with Cavanaugh to host special
events and artist meet & greet sessions greatly complimenting the
musical theme of the photographs on display. In June 2003,
Rocktography relocated and opened for daily viewings with a brand
new exhibit at the Stage Door Canteen on Cookman Avenue in Downtown
Asbury Park. A stage and patron seating area was added creating an
intimate performance setting within the second floor Mezzanine for
ticket holders to view the debut Storytellers series of
performances.
“The goal of The Asbury Park Music Storytellers Series is to
partner the local arts community to the local music scene by
offering an intimate, professional space for musicians to share
their art,” says Cavanaugh. The photos from Cavanaugh's portfolio
spanning his impressive photography career create a wonderful
backdrop for The Series and offer a point of interest for those who
come to Asbury Park to investigate its rich musical history. Some of
the artists already slated to perform at the 2006 Storytellers
Series include Bob Burger, Vini Lopez & Sonny Kenn, Bill Toms and
Joe D’Urso.
Cavanaugh, who has been behind the lens to document the
rock-n-roll histrionics that have occurred on the New Jersey Shore
over the past fifteen years is the official photographer for local
music institutions The Stone Pony night club and the Light of Day
and Writers In The Raw concert series. His internationally renowned
photography have been published in a number of tri-state area
newspapers including The Star Ledger, the Asbury Park Press, and the
New York Times; Rolling Stone and Backstreets magazines, as well as
other respected national and European publications. His photos are
complementary and their availability to the public has been
encouraged by the subject artists.
Cavanaugh’s website, Rocktography.info boasts exciting galleries
of live concert photos, links to the many artist sites that feature
John's work, plus press clippings, credits and other memories of the
legends and moments captured by his camera.
