How does a Memphis Gospel singer find her way to Chicago to become an Opera singer, only decide the spotlight isn't for her, and ultimately forge a career as the successful FOH Engineer for Janelle Monáe? It's these questions and more that I explore with the amazing and talented Amanda Davis. Frustrated by the constraints of her classical training, and realizing the spotlight wasn't where she was most comfortable, Amanda found a path into the world of live audio production where she has made a name for herself as one of the most solid Engineers on the road today.

100: STEVE REMOTE/Owner/Aurasonic LTD. May 28, 2018

Show notes

Well, this is IT! The big 100! Thank you so much for tuning-in and joining me on this epic journey of bringing you the stories behind the men and women who make the music and film industry tick day after day, night after night, mile after mile. A dreamer, an innovator, and a self-proclaimed procrastinator, Steve Remote doubled-down on his career, and at the age of eighteen years old, knew his destiny lay in following his own path, and forging a career for himself in the audio industry. He reasoned that the money he would spend on school would serve him better if spent on recording equipment to capture some of New York's most daring bands of the 1970's. Since that time Steve has built a formidable fleet of mobile recording trucks and has captured artists ranging from The Band Called Fuse, Dropkick Murphy's, Blink 182, Wilco, New York Dolls, and many more. Today's episode is sponsored by Airturn, ShowPro Beard Co., and Gig-Gear.

099: JASON SPRINZEN/Author/SHOWCO: 10,000 Nights On the Road May 20, 2018

Show notes

Thank you for joining me this week for our 99th episode, my guest is Jason Sprinzen, author of the forthcoming book about legendary sound and lighting company, SHOWCO. A native New Yorker, vintage guitar expert, and vintage t-shirt collector, Jason has always been fascinated by the 1970's Rock 'n' Roll scene. He was still in grade school when he first laid eyes on the SHOWCO logo. Over the years, he would see it again and again in photos worn on the t-shirts of his favorite rock stars. Already an avid collector of vintage rock t-shirts, Jason soon discovered that some of the most coveted rock tees around are SHOWCO shirts from the 1970's. By 2007, Jason's curiosity as to just what role this mysterious company had played in the concert tours of his favorite classic rock bands had become insatiable. Discovering that little-known SHOWCO was the premier sound and lighting company for most of the major touring bands throughout the 1970's immediately led to a desire to learn more, and ultimately suggested that he write a book to tell the story. Today's episode is sponsored by Airturn, ShowPro Beard Co., and Gig-Gear.

098: RICH NESIN/TM, PM/Steel Pulse, Steely Dan, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Edie Brickell May 13, 2018

Show notes

Like so many of my guests, Rich Nesin started his career with a passion for music and a desire to learn everything he could about the industry. But as we know all too well, a successful career also comes down to right place, right time. After starting out as a bass player in local New York bands, Rich quickly found himself working at S.I.R studios in midtown Manhattan, servicing clients like Todd Rundgren, The Dictators, Jim Carroll, and Blue Oyster Cult. His big break came at the start of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, where Nesin got his first real taste of life as a touring professional, making $250 a week as the tour's backline tech. Focusing on his strengths and natural abilities as Tour Manager and Production Manager, Rich has worked with a who's who of industry heavyweights, including his long tenure with Reggae superstars, Steel Pulse. Today's episode is sponsored by ALL OF YOU!!

097: PIERCE SCOTT/Lighting Tech/Drake, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Beyonce May 07, 2018

Show notes

Our guest this week is Lighting Tech Pierce Scott. At the ripe young age of fourteen Pierce found his calling at his local church and starting volunteering in the A/V department. His first love was video, but he soon ended up learning all aspects of production including lighting. After working in the Cincinnati area for free just to gain experience, he finally dropped out of college, moved to Nashville, and started working for Glow Motion Technologies. Since then, he has worked on numerous live shows and events, with barely a break over the last few years. From Journey to Drake, Tom Petty and Beyonce, Pierce is proof that passion, desire, and an unwavering focus on your goals will lead to success. Today's episode is sponsored by ShowPro Beard Co. & Airturn.
