Jimi Hendrix Experience Now Forever

The Postal Service took center stage on the South by Southwest music festival’s Outdoor Stage at Butler Park in Austin, TX, Thursday for the dedication of the Jimi Hendrix Forever Stamp.
After the stamp dedication, a concert celebrating Jimi Hendrix featured performances by guitarists Wayne Kramer of Motor City 5, Slash of Guns N’ Roses, Rusty Anderson of Paul McCartney’s tours and Perry Farrell, lead singer for Jane’s Addiction.
Hendrix is widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century. The Jimi Hendrix Forever Stamp kicks off the 2014 Music Icons series, which will include Janis Joplin, to be commemorated with a stamp later this year. The 2013 Music Icons series honored Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and Lydia Mendoza.

The Jimi Hendrix Forever Stamp is on sale at Post Offices nationwide, online at usps.com/stamps, at the Postal Store on eBay at ebay.com/stamps, and through 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724).
