The Bluebird Cafe Photos

The walls of The Bluebird Cafe are hung with a wonderful series of overlarge photographs by acclaimed photographer Robert Corwin, with additional photographs by his father, Jerry Corwin*. 

Beginning at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, this restrospective includes selective images from a body of work documenting over 40 years of American music.  The American Folklife Department of the Library of Congress has recently established the "Robert Corwin Collection" to preserve this valuable resource for future generations.

To purchase one of these photographs, or for more information, e-mail Robert at photos@robertcorwin.com, or visit his webiste at: www.robertcorwin.com.

"Let us all thank Robert Corwin for being such a good photographer,
and having such single minded devotion to use his craft to record things
that probably do need to be recorded"
