LIVE EVENT AUDIO ENGINEERING

Gerry Comments:

“I have been an independent live sound engineer for the past 35 years. Throughout college and after, I maintained a large catalog of entertainment acts that contracted my mixing services. I have engineered local, national, and international talents at live concerts and for television performances all over the world.”

“In recent years, more and more of my business has been here at home in Minnesota.   Now you can find myself and my staff of great live engineers and technicians in their own rights, mixing local events at performance halls, festivals, and special engagements.

“One highlighted period that stands out happened fifteen+ years ago when I toured as the front-of-house sound engineer/production manager for Jonny Lang during his “early years”.  What a amazing time that was in retrospect!    During that time we were a great band and crack squad of crew commandos and Jonny became an internationally recognized musician and performer. We toured extensively and world-wide, including: North and South America, Europe, Australia, and Japan. We were incredibly lucky to do tours with groups such as; Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Sting, BB King, Blues Traveler, Van Halen, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, and countless others.  Many of my ‘audio friends’ from that time period are still vital to my success now.”

“As a 35+ year veteran sound engineer, I have been fortunate to get my hands on many pieces of the professional gear out in the world and watch, learn from, and befriend many talented sound engineers and PA system technicians, system designers, and high end audiophile system owners.  I am still using their techniques and tricks everyday here in Central Minnesota.”

“I have mixed my clients during appearances on live radio and television shows including: , Oprah, Garrison Keillor, Minnesota Public Radio, Kare 11, ABC Morning Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show, Conan Obrien, Jimmy Kimmel,  and many other broadcasts. I have also done in-studio concerts for VH1, MTV, Disney, CBC,  Austin City Limits, Much Music Canada, MTV Europe, and the BBC.”
