Every Band Needs a Davis

Triple threat sound, video, and lighting engineer Davis Thurston joins your two favorite weekend warriors this week to discuss tips, techniques, and overall vision for how he does what he does.

Listen as Davis, Paul, and Dave chat through that which it takes in Front Of House to make your band look, feel, and sound good…and how it’s certainly possible to consolidate those jobs into one person thanks to today’s technology (and a lot of wizard skills!)

Press play and remember: Always Be Performing!
