One of the many highlights of the 'EHM Rock Art Show' is a special appearance by New Jersey Rock photographer Weiss. Weiss was a photographer for Circus Magazine beginning in the late 1970s where he began photographing Rock Music's legends. His photos caught the eye of a young Jon Bon Jovi who used Weiss to shoot the cover for his classic album, "Slippery When Wet." The original album cover featuring a wet tee-shirt clad model which created controversy with Bon Jovi's label and a tamer cover was substituted. Weiss will be at the show sharing his stories of his classic shots including Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Little Steven, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Led Zeppelin and more.

In addition, the 'EHM Rock Art Show' will showcase a series of original animation paintings from Ron Campbell. Ron was the Director of the Saturday Morning Beatles TV Cartoon series in the 1960s and one of the animators for the Beatles film, "Yellow Submarine." These original works of art are created specifically for this show.

The shows are free and all rock art works are available to purchase.
