Michael Sprouse, Executive Producer and Host of Coastal A&E – the nationally broadcast television/radio/livestream interview based, arts and creative lifestyle focused news feature – is proud to announce that on Saturday, May 30th, between 11 AM and 12 PM EST.
Michael will be interviewing internationally acclaimed photographer Elliott Landy for a fascinating discussion of the photographer’s uncanny career behind the lens documenting the history of American Rock and Roll during an exclusive live cross-platform broadcast.
Born in 1942, Elliott Landy began photographing the anti-Vietnam war movement and the underground music culture in New York City in 1967 visually detailing many of the underground rock and roll superstars, both backstage and onstage with a keen eye and soulful awareness of his craft.
His iconic images of Bob Dylan, The Band, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Joan Baez, Van Morrison, Richie Havens, and many others documented the music scene during that classic rock and roll period which culminated with the 1969 Woodstock Festival, of which he was the official photographer.
His mesmerizing photographs have been published worldwide for decades in all print mediums including covers for Rolling Stone magazine, Life, The Saturday Evening Post and many more.
Landy’s legendary album covers (Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline and Van Morrison’s Moondance for example) are revered to this day and have been celebrated by a young generation of fans eager to discover the “new” world of vinyl records and the visual and highly artistic elements of the covers.
Currently publishing a series of limited edition lithographs of his classic rock photographs, Elliott has also published Woodstock Vision, The Spirit of A Generation, in book and CD-ROM format, and authored the book Woodstock 69, The First Festival.
Host Michael Sprouse is thrilled to have the opportunity to interview his friend Elliott Landy once again, this time – with the added element of livestream video and television.
“The first time I interviewed Elliott on the air,” said Sprouse, “it was as a phone interview. While it was truly a fascinating interview with a legend of rock and roll photography, the multi-media element that can make artistic discussions so much more compelling was missing. This time, we will be simulcasting the interview across three media platforms live which is extremely exciting!
Also, our fans from across the country will have the opportunity to see some incredible multi-media elements of Landy’s work and they can of course call in to the Coastal A&E Hotline at 302-335-6200 with questions for Elliott.
Visitors to our Facebook page (Facebook.com/CoastalAE), can also feel free to leave comments and questions for Elliott during the livestream,” Sprouse added. “Landy’s work is instantly recognizable for the majority of American Rock and Roll fans,” Sprouse said. “To be able to introduce fans to the man behind the lens of some of the most well-known and beloved photographs of our generation is a complete thrill.”
Sprouse also mentioned that anyone outside of the listening area can easily access the audio stream via the TuneIn App on their favorite device or online at www.TVDelMarVa.com. The TVDelMarVa app is also easily available to download and stream content on Roku or Amazon Fire TV.
