Watt Casey: Rock and Roll Photographs

Nov. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- The Courthouse Center for the Arts is privileged to announce an exhibit of historic rock and roll photographs  taken during its most popular era, the 1970s and 1980s by Watt Casey, photographer.  
There will be 35 photographs showing  musicians in concert, behind the scenes, and in private moments.  The photos are in color and black and white. The vintage photographs include  Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen and Leon Russell.
Watt Casey is a “cowboy” who took a side trip in the 70s and 80s and began photographing rock and roll bands on tour as they passed through Austin, Texas. Over time, he captured these performers on stage as well as backstage and in their private moments. His photos have appeared on album covers and in national magazines.
The exhibit opened in early November and will continue through December 1.  The photographs have all been signed by Casey.
