AMAZING four colored, 24 x 36 screened and hand-numbered poster designed and printed by John Sampson for a Ponderosa Stomp benefit concert we had in Feb ’08. The show featured Syl Johnson, JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, Adam Fitz and the Stacks. We have a handful of these left for a very reasonable price!
