On April 25 at the Exit/In in Nashville, Michael Weintrob along with Volume.com will be kicking off the release of INSTRUMENTHEAD: Revealed with an immersive photo exhibition, artist talk and special performances by Maggie Rose, Victor Wooten and Friends + Peter Levin and Friends, celebrating the music of Gregg Allman and The Allman Brothers Band, featuring Luther Dickinson, Lamar Williams, Jr., Jimbo Hart, Chad Gamble and Audley Freed, plus special guests.
Tickets are available here, and the show can be viewed on Instrumentheadlive.com and Volume.com.
Weintrob’s companion book INSTRUMENTHEAD: Revealed will be published April 26, 2022, and will showcase “unmasked” portraits of these same musicians, including Bootsy Collins, Susan Tedeschi, Mickey Hart, Johnny Winter, Charlie Musselwhite, all with their own style and artistry.
Victor Wooten adds, “Michael Weintrob is a musician, not just any kind, he is a musician of the highest caliber. The difference between Michael, myself, and all the other subjects in this work of art is that Michael’s instrument is a camera. Weintrob is a visionary! As we all journey toward a better tomorrow, there seems to be no better time than now to lower our masks and unveil the faces behind the Instrument Heads.
Concert promoter Peter Shapiro added, “Michael Weintrob brings a new approach and new ideas to how to capture musicians in a way where their soul shines through, often in a way that doesn’t come through during the best jam session on-stage. It’s Michael’s ability to capture their inner spirit off-stage that separates him from others, and makes him one of the best music photographers of his generation.”
Preorder is available now at Instrumenthead.com.
Three dollars of every book sold will benefit the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. Founded by a coalition of music advocates in 1998, the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic is the first medical clinic for musicians, performing artists and cultural workers in the US.
“I want to do my part to inspire people to learn about new music and the artists who create it,” adds Weintrob, who photographed the unmasked portraits during the original INSTRUMENTHEAD sessions. “I love to connect and break down walls with my photography. Everyone has the ability to be a kid again. This book is really special because we’re unmasking the original photos. The book reflects the new energy this year.
“During the Pandemic a team and I got together and turned my East Nashville studio into a virtual venue. Over 70 performances were filmed in the space. We linking up with long-time TV director, Max Schindler. He came on board to direct all of our shows. He was all set to direct the upcoming show at the Exit In. I regret to say that Max Schindler passed away a couple of days ago. This show will be dedicated to him. Life is short and you never know what is going to happen. We were blessed to create art with Max and I know he would be proud of the show we are going to create on April 25.”
