About this poster
This concert poster for Band of Horses by Jermaine Rogers presents his darkly humorous reimagining of the classic Wizard of Oz tale, specifically created for the band's performance on March 16th at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado. The artwork features the familiar characters - Dorothy in her red shoes, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion - depicted in a state of exhausted defeat, slumped on a worn red couch placed on the yellow brick road. The scene is set against a warm, sepia-toned sky, creating an ironic contrast to the characters' evident weariness and disillusionment.
This concert poster showcases Rogers' ability to adapt his powerful "Yellow Brick Road Goes Nowhere" imagery for specific musical events, with the elegant Band of Horses typography and venue details seamlessly integrated into the composition.
Rogers uses this piece to deliver a pointed commentary on the myths we're sold about success and happiness. As he explains about this imagery, "There are no magic roads that lead to 'everything you've always dreamed of.' There are no wizards with all of the answers that will make your life a success." He argues that real life happens "off the road, out in the mud, and the weeds and the woods" - it's messy, unpaved, and requires personal effort and independent thinking.
The artist's cynical wisdom shines through in his observation that if you do choose to follow society's many "yellow-brick-roads," you better bring a chair because "it gets tiring going in circles." The image perfectly captures this sentiment for concert-goers and collectors alike.
