Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone’s first ever photographer, is heading to Australia to celebrate exhibitions of his rock photography in Sydney and Melbourne. The shows will draw from Baron’s book Every Picture Tells a Story … The Rolling Stone Years, which hits stores today.

The exhibitions will feature portraits of some of rock music’s most influential figures including Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, and Miles Davis captured during Baron’s three-year tenure with the music bible.

Most of us can only dream of attending the Glastonbury festival, but music fans in Melbourne can enjoy the next best thing.

“As a photographer I was magnetically drawn to witness and understand what lies at [Glastonbury’s] core,” Ms Dearden said. “I decided to create an oasis amongst the crowds where I could meet and document some of the thousands of individuals who travelled from all around the world to make up this vast, eclectic gathering.”

You can see Glastonbury: Another Stage at Raw Gallery until July 24. Entry is free, so if you’re living in Victoria there’s no excuse for not checking it out!
