The intent is to bring you live, inside the band session. Able to chat directly with the members, in between songs. The band has a big screen watching all the chats come in, live. Unedited and live, anything could happen.

Well looks we have the basic system running. A Mac running OBS software using a Mackie Onyx A/D interface. I have tested Twitch and Facebook Live successfully. The focus will be on Facebook Live at the moment.

Indoor gig, mixing on the IPad

Ok we are back. Thanks to the current social distancing I have been asked to start internet streaming of musicians. Wow, this reminds me of some of my days in HP. Stay tuned as I will be testing the quality as I progress. You will see a live link pop up, click on it and you will be connected. Enjoy!

Definitely the highlight of the Show, https://www.facebook.com/loveandtheft/

These guys were simply fantastic. Great musicians and great people. They were so grateful to those around them. Their talent is undeniable, you can't believe how good they really are. Spent 3 minutes in a private sound chat with them, 30 second sound check. Then they came out and killed it for 80 minutes. Great working with these folks, top notch entertainers with great personalities.

Kelsey Bales Music

Had a great time in Sisters doing sound. Thursday was a great day but hard on the sound guy. Fortunately everything went without a hitch. The concert started with https://www.facebook.com/Kelseybalesmusic/

Kelsey brings energy and heart to each song. From Honky Tonk to Rock & Roll, her voice transforms and brings the crowd to life. This band is a must see!

Corvallis Elks, Saturday night, Rap concert. Great bunch of folks. Bumped the bass up until glasses fell off the shelf.

Provided sound at a wedding for Out on Bail at the Garden of the Woods. Wayne and Helen own the place and it sure does look great. http://www.thegardeninthewoods.com/

Had a great time at the Crawfish Boil today. Mixed sound for Rudy and the boys from Out on Bail. They had live crawdads and cooked them on the spot. Plenty of micro brews on tap and some great music to boot. The new system sounds great. Looking forward to next year!

Hey got a call yesterday to do a RAP concert. Coming in June at the Corvallis Elks they said. Alright then, subwoofers and lasers it is.

05/09/2016

Local gig Front street bar in Albany. Here is a quick clip. No stage, no acoustic tiles, and irregular shaped room. These gigs are the hardest I have to work. There is virtually no sound absorption here and mostly reflections. I had to ride the controls all night to keep the sound in check. Fortunately I must of done a good job because I got many compliments. Great food, great hosts.

Linn County Sheriff's Office

Being in the sound business you get to interact with public constables as part of the job. They usually show up when it is too loud for someone. In town there are strict ordinances for sound and most need a permit. Had a chat with Linn County Sheriff tonight. As always we work with all of the police and sheriffs and strive for mutual solution during these times. Normally we just turn it down. All of the Linn County folks have been great to work with.

Off to a local event this weekend. I will be doing sound for Weekenders at Front street bar. Come on down and hear the difference.

Old Dominion came to town as the mystery band for the KRKT/Oregon Jamboree concert tonight. They had put a call in for some extra subwoofers for the performance. Great to get a call for these folks even if it was just equipment. Check their new hit out from RCA Records, "Break up with him" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrgCwAM06Yg

Saturday night working with the Outletz at the Still in Albany. Another great time with the system. Rolled out the new 32 channel rack and it performed flawless. Was great to get to setup for a trombone and harp player. Sounded great, artists and management were pleased. Love doing different types of music.

04/17/2016

Duffys Hangar. Weekenders gig. Had troubles with the kick in second half but otherwise great gig. Got to roll out the new powered speakers.

04/13/2016

Here is a great example of a lounge band. 2 keyboards, 2 singers, drums and a bass player. No guitar. They used the house system, QSC. Did not sound great but they had a good dance mix. Love the spit guard around the drummer. Also check out the color coordinated fashion, now that's a lounge act.

Eli Young on stage

I try to catch a few folks on stage that I have been wanting to see. Here is the Eli Young band at a 2000 seat arena. He was good and the lights were overkill. But hey if you got them you might as well use them.

04/13/2016

The new rack is ready for the road. I will be shaking it down with OutLetz this weekend. It has a 32 channel Mackie system with Furman power conditioner. SArt 3 way splitters, 8 channels of DI, and all inside a killer rack from the folks at Rockhard cases. Everything is controlled by multiple IPads connected to a secure network. Gotta love the power and control today. Cant wait to let it loose on the world.

The OutLetZ

Will be mixing for bands this weekend. I will be in Salem at Duffy's Hangar on Friday night with The Weekenders.

Just finished my first bridal fair. Great place great folks. Probably had about 150 people wander through and gave out at least 40 flyers. Learned a lot and met some great folks. I need to give a shout out to DJ Jeff, https://www.facebook.com/djjeffrichey/ He was most gracious and looks to be a great resource into the wedding dj scene.

Met a lot of great people, Robin and I had fun.

Love and Theft |

And it keeps rolling along...Got contacted by Sisters again and now they are asking if I could do sound for Love and Theft ( http://loveandtheft.com/ ). These guys are a country singing duet that comes out of Nashville. They have 3 albums out and will be at the rodeo in Sisters. Waiting for their production rider to see if I can pull it off.
