Classic Rock and Legends with Guests

My next radio show on Monday, September 29th will be about Classic Rock and Legends with Guests

I’ll be talking about and playing music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and some 80s.

Guests for our show:

1) Michael G. Bush

Michael G. Bush, Rock and Roll photographer from Chicago, has been photographing live concerts since the late ’70s. He has shot superstars like The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Queen, The Who, The Bee Gees, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Santana, James Brown, Paul McCartney and David Bowie, but he was partial to the Pioneers of Rock ‘n’ Roll like The Everly Brothers, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Bo Diddley, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Ricky Nelson.

When Chuck Berry’s 1987 autobiography was published, Bush had more of his photos included than any other photographer. The Beach Boys used his photographs in their press kit, and he was the featured photographer in their 25th Anniversary tour program. Bush’s portfolio reads like a who’s who of the Original Rock ‘n’ Roll Era, shooting nearly every charting act and teen idol of the ’60s from Herb Alpert to the Zombies, as well as Doo Wop legends, the ’60s Chicago music scene and hit-makers of the ’70s and ’80s, including Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Joan Jett, The Police and KISS.

Bush has also been a road photographer for several tours, traveling with The Monkees during the ’80s and ’90s and providing photos for their official tour programs. Bush was so popular with the fans that in 1988 a fan club was started for him & he also appeared in “16” magazine. He has formed close friendships with many of the artists, and has been called “The best kept secret in Rock & Roll Photography.” His work has also been featured on album covers, in newspapers, magazines, and on many artists’ websites.

Armed with his trusty Nikon camera equipment and his film of choice (Fujichrome), Bush captured musical moments in time that can never be replicated or duplicated. All photographs in this exhibition were taken with a handheld 35mm film camera with no automatic settings, a challenge that propelled Bush to learn and strive for excellence all on his own.
