A staple in Music City since 1879, Hatch Show Print has been printing posters, creating excitement, and selling shows for ages.
Plastered on the sides of buildings those passing by would learn from these colorful posters about the circus coming to town, Willie Nelson’s next concert, and shows from one of my favorite contemporary bands – Lake Street Dive. The Hatch brothers say, “Advertising without posters is like fishing without worms,” and this American graphic tradition is proven to work through the centuries.
