Following the release of world-renowned rock ‘n’ roll photographer Mark Weiss’s The Decade That Rocked book, the Monmouth Museum in Lincroft, NJ, is now featuring a Mark Weiss: The Decade That Rocked! Exhibit.
Mark Weiss: The Decade That Rocked! showcases onstage and backstage moments and never-before-seen images from the period’s most historic concerts, tours and multiplatinum album covers, all captured through Weiss’s lens. The exhibit also features memorabilia from his private collection and will take visitors through Weiss’s journey on his path to becoming one of the most iconic and celebrated photographers in rock ‘n’ roll.
“We are very excited to have Mark Weiss’s work at the Monmouth Museum,” says Monmouth Museum’s Donna Kessinger. “The show is a snapshot of music history.”
A sold-out opening reception will take place this Saturday, September 12. The reception will feature a performance by members of White Tiger, the first metal band Weiss did a photo session with, fronted by Neal Thomas and guitarist Dan Muro, the legendary band that dominated the early ‘80s Jersey club scene. The pair will perform as The Killin’ Floor Project with noted producer, engineer and owner of Long Branch, NJ’s Shorefire Recording Studios Joe DeMaio.
“My goal is to take this exhibit across the country and speak about my life as a rock ‘n’ roll photographer,” Weiss says. “I have worked on this book for the past five years and now it’s time to share my photos and experiences with the world.”
