Every year, Marshall Blues Festival gives us a chance to create something a little different. As part of our sponsorship of the festival, we donate the design and marketing work behind the event—including the official poster.
Over the years, we've developed a tradition of using this project as an opportunity to collaborate with artists and designers we haven't worked with before, bringing fresh perspectives to a festival that continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.
For 2026, we partnered with a new illustrator to create a poster inspired by two things that make this year's festival special: an all-Michigan lineup and the natural beauty of the place we call home.
Drawing from classic 1970s psychedelic rock posters and Deadhead-inspired artwork, the piece blends vibrant illustration, flowing forms, and Michigan landscapes into a design that feels both nostalgic and distinctly local.
It celebrates not only the music on stage, but the rivers, forests, lakes, and small-town character that connect so many of the artists and audiences who make this festival possible.
We're proud to help bring Marshall Blues Fest to life each year—and even prouder to showcase Michigan talent, both on the stage and behind the artwork.
Join us in downtown Marshall for this FREE festival on Saturday, June 27th!
