Great feature in the San Francisco Chronicle on my new book, “Jukebox: Photographs 1967 – 2023.” Brandon Yu writes, “’Jukebox pulls from his vast photo archive and mostly from this period [1970s and 1980s], capturing an eclectic range of musicians — from Patti Smith and Neil Young to Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits — in hotel rooms, in dressing rooms and live onstage. …

“The book is also a panorama of San Francisco at that time as a vibrant hub for music and where the ‘countercultural bohemian’ ethos from the decade prior had a longer shelf life than the rest of the country,” writes Yu, who quotes me saying, “There were all these great (venues), all these great musicians coming through constantly back then, and the scene — basically, it took quite a while for the ’60s to kind of end,” Goldberg says. 

You can read the whole feature here.

Please note that the book can be purchased directly from the publisher, HoZac Records and Books or if you are in San Francisco, at the Haight Street Art Center and they have books at Book Passage in Corte Madera too because I got an early shipment of books. In addition to getting a book filled with unique photos, if you buy one you are supporting independent publishing (HoZac is a small independent press that has been releasing great records for over 15 years and publishing unique books for about five years) and indie writers and photographers like myself.

I will be doing an event at Grace Cathedral’s Forum on Sunday, August 11 starting at 9:30 am. Books will be available at The Forum and I’ll be around to sign them.

I will also be doing a presentation on “Jukebox” at Book Passage in Corte Madera on August 24 beginning at 4 pm and books will also be available there. And, nearly 40 photos from the book are on on display through September 22 at the Haight Street Art Center, where you can also see “We Are the One: San Francisco Punk 1970s – 1980s,” an art exhibit that I curated. Books are available there and there will be an opening party on August 2 from 6 pm to 9 pm. If you are in the Bay Area, please come to the party.
