The Rural Alberta Advantage gig poster (stamp)

By Brian Danaher

<

    The poster was used to promote a concert for the band The Rural Alberta Advantage, who were touring to support their new album, “The Departing”, an album with theme of heartbreak and loss set to the backdrop of the cold Alberta winter. The design was inspired by the album’s lead single, “Stamp”, a song about the end of a relationship made final by a letter sent through the mail.

    Delivery of Work

    The poster - an 18 x 24 three color screen print - was sold at the show as well as online. The audience: fans of the band, music fans and gig poster collectors.

    The Results

    Client and audience reaction was extremely positive and the poster sold very well. Each band member took home a print and the leader singer liked it so much that he had his framed and on display in his house. The poster also sold well online and was in the gig poster top 5 best sellers on the Insound web site.
