Vintage Black and White Concert Photograph of 'Shower of Stars' Performance

This is a vintage black and white gelatin silver print or similar photographic reproduction on paper, depicting a live musical performance. The scene features a multi-piece band on a raised stage performing in front of a seated audience. Central to the composition is a large dark backdrop with the text 'SHOWER OF STARS' in a stylized, block-letter font, accompanied by a celestial star pattern. The band consists of a drummer, a double bassist, multiple guitarists, and a central vocalist, all dressed in mid-20th-century formal suits typical of the late 1950s to early 1960s. The instruments include a large double bass and electric guitars. The photograph is rectangular with a thin white border. Regarding condition, there is a visible hole punch or puncture mark on the left side of the image near the margin. The edges show slight irregularities, and there is a mild yellowing or sepia-toned patina consistent with age-related oxidation of the paper stock. The image quality shows moderate grain and contrast, suggesting a snapshot or a press photo from the era. The style of the attire, typography, and musical instruments indicates an estimated age from the mid-1950s through the early 1960s. This item appears to be an original souvenir or documentary photograph of a regional talent show or touring review.
