Information on live sound techs

[Chris7826]

I'm looking for information and/ or feedback on local live sound techs, persons, etc., who are for hire. Who is the best around? Who is the best for your money? Who is just plain cheap and great to use for those low-dough gigs?

Any sound man or woman out there looking for work this summer? Hit me up and let me know what you have and what you charge for a full night.


Thanks y'all!

Who is just plain cheap and great to use for those low-dough gigs?

I have run sound, but I used the bands equipment.

With your two considerations listed above, you are going to need to pick one or the other in most cases.

great>cheap

what sort of sound reinforcement do you need? singer-songwriter, 4-piece loud rock band, 18 piece big band, jazz combo? Depending on your needs, I may send you to different people.

Needs are for a 5 piece rock band.

Understood that great doesn't = cheap, but was trying to ask who others have used when they may be on a tight budget.

Thanks guys!

Eric or Eric from TNT sound. Ive never been to a show that sounded bad. From rap to metal.

Give Josh Newsome from Sound Services a call, he does a lot of the all ages shows around here. I think his rates are around $50-75 for a show. His number is 574-551-8705, tell him the guys from Artificial Red sent you.

you can call kenny rucoi. he only charges $300 a night and does a killer job. or you can call jason hess, he charges i think $150 a night and does a great job also.
