We are so excited this week to have Jay Blakesberg and his Daughter Ricki as our guests on No Simple Road. Jay Blakesberg is a San Francisco-based photographer, filmmaker and public speaker whose work has appeared in numerous worldwide magazines including Rolling Stone, Guitar Player, Relix, Time, Vanity Fair, and countless others. He has photographed many musical artists, including the Grateful Dead, B.B. King, Phish, Radiohead, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, Neil Young and Carlos Santana to name just a few. His photography has been included in over 250 CD packages, been published thousands of times in books and magazines worldwide, and he has published Sixteen coffee table books of his music photography. Over the last 8 years, Jay has presented his storytelling/slideshow presentation to thousands of people around the United States.
We sit down with Jay and Ricki here in the studio and have a discussion regarding the new book 'RetroBlakesberg Vol. 1: The Film Archives' and how Ricki came up with the idea and pitched it to her Dad. We get to hear about some of Jay's experiences photographing artist like Dr. Dre and The Grateful Dead. We get into how Jay and Ricki are working together to create a legacy for their family and the musical community through photos. We talk about the visual aspect of The Grateful Dead and why that is so important to the history of the band, figuring out how to make a living taking photos, Jay's big break with Rolling Stone Magazine, how we see the magick of The Grateful Dead Family working, and so much more!
