Casey Simpson
Biography
Casey Simpson is the artist most often credited with FD-130, the Family Dog poster for the Avalon Ballroom's July 26–28, 1968 run (Quicksilver Messenger Service / Howlin' Wolf / Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks). The attribution is the majority one across dealer listings; a minority source credits the piece to Stanley Mouse instead, so it should be treated as probable rather than settled. Simpson is otherwise sparsely documented among the Family Dog poster artists, and this profile is kept short to match the record rather than pad it.
Why They Matter
A late-period Family Dog / Avalon poster credit from 1968, the year the Avalon's original run was winding toward its November close.
