Poster designed for The Civil Wars show in Waverly, Alabama. Design inspired by the minimalist nature of their music and at the same time the fierce nature and emotion of the content of their songs. I usually draw inspiration from the name of the band and then the sound. From the bands bio page: In some ways, music doesn't get much more modest or minimalist than it is in the hands of The Civil Wars, a duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White. They travel without a backup band, and on their first full-length album, Barton Hollow, the bare-bones live arrangements that fans hear on the road are fleshed out with just the barest of acoustic accoutrements. Each song is an intimate conversation, and no third wheels or dinner-party chatter are going to interrupt that gorgeous, haunting hush.
