Pete Krebs & The Portland Playboys

Art Direction + Design

I’ve had a long appreciation for classic country music and western swing. After a chance meeting with local country artist Pete krebs, I got to work on branding for his record label and packaging for his early sessions release.

The record pays homage to the vinyl record jackets of the 40’s and 50’s with interior illustration, liner notes, period correct typography and even a cd designed to match the center label of an old ‘45.

not long after the shoot, I partnered with rob delAhanty to photograph pete and the band in a unique club styled after the speak easy’s and dance halls of the 1920’s.
