This poster was included with the album and a t-shirt for those who bought the deluxe edition of his live solo recording at the Georgia Theatre. To get a better look at the album cover or learn more click here.
The direction of the poster was influenced by the “Places in Peril” series of music videos by T. Hardy Morris and filmmaker Jordan Thrasher as reported here by online music publication Aquarium Drunkard.
“Inspired by The Georgia Trust For Historic Preservation’s annual Places In Peril list, T. Hardy Morris and filmmaker Jason Thrasher traveled to historic sites in Georgia threatened by demolition and neglect. Ten live performances were captured at each location — one for each track from Morris’s forthcoming debut solo album, Audition Tapes”. -Aquarium Drunkard
This poster focuses on the site known as the “Rock House.” You can see the corresponding music video for this location by clicking on this Youtube Link.
The following description of the Rock House is from the annotations section of that music video, released by Dangerbird Records.
“ABOUT PLACES IN PERIL

ABOUT THE ROCK HO– USE
Story/significance: This two-story 1780s house is constructed of 24-inch-thick field stones and is recognized as the oldest surviving stone house in Georgia. The house was constructed by the Ansley family who received the land in 1783, fifteen years after the town of Wrightsborough was founded as the southernmost settlement of Quakers in America. The house remained privately owned until 1966, when the Wrightsborough Quaker Community Foundation purchased and restored the house with the intention of using it as a museum.”
