Photographer Jacob Blickenstaff is bringing a sizable entourage of family and friends with him next week for the opening of an exhibit of his work at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, according to an item in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Breaking Schmooze blog.
Blickenstaff, 30, a St. Louisan now based in New York City, has had work featured in publications from Rolling Stone to Wax Poetics, and he is the featured photographer of the Ponderosa Stomp festival. The exhibit to show at Stax focuses on contemporary soul artists and the recent resurgence of soul music, which Blickenstaff knows well from his work as a photographer for Daptone Records. Subjects include Bettye Lavette, Sharon Jones, Ben Cauley, Otis Clay and many more.
The opening party will be Friday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. It's $20 admission for the general public, and free for Stax Museum members. The exhibit will be on display through April. Keep an eye out for next week's issue of GoMemphis for an in-depth profile and interview of Blickenstaff.
