Backlit Bands

Baba Youngblood creates artwork and designs inspired by his favorite musicians, movies, and other media. His work often features a "Manchester style" and has been described as celebrating the "cool vibe" of bands like The Stone Roses.

Backlit Bands is a series of art pieces, each one celebrating a seminal moment in live music - were you there?
