Wednesday, June 2 at Fortune Sound Club (147 E. Pender at Main in Chinatown) doors 9pm, starts sharp at 10:30pm, free before 11pm

Join the legendary photographer on a journey through his photo archives, as he reflects on 25 years spent documenting the hip hop scene and hanging out with stars like the Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Method Man and many more.



Powell first fell into photography in 1985, at around the same time he connected with the up and coming Beastie Boys. At first he just hung out with them and went to a few of their gigs. Then when he heard they had gone to perform in Florida with Run DMC for the Raising Hell tour, Powell quit his job as a Frozade vendor and joined them on the tour bus. He shot a few photographs that became significant and was subsequently brought along on the License to Ill tour in 87 and Together Forever tour with Run DMC and then 92 Check Your Head tour and the 94 Lollapalooza. Ricky became known as Def Jams unofficial chronicler and famously as the alleged fourth Beastie Boy during the groups Licensed to Ill and Pauls Boutique era. Join the Sup Fu?
