I need some help...my soundguy for Jimmie's Chicken Shack decided to bail on me last minute. I've already paid a deposit for JCS and I have to pay them now if they play or not. This sound guy, John's Audio, to be exact had the thumbs up from JCS tour manager and everything. Then he bailed...FUCKER! Anyway, anyone that knows people who have professional sound equipment please email me. JCS will not play out of any Peavey equipment. I also need lights in the front of the stage, back of stage, and floor cans. And...two 24 channel mixers. Thanks...Jason.

Call Greg Stager, he's more than likely the best local option.

Hey,
Our sound and lights crew is amazing.. and we're off this weekend so you can give them a call. They love the business. Laurel Highlands Sound and Light. http://www.lhsoundandlight.com/ Tell them Joe from Third Standard recommended them and hopefully they aren't booked already. I can't remember the equipment they run ... but they have a great set up and are complete professional and proficient. They can also be reached through the links in our webpage, www.thirdstandard.com

Good luck.
Joe
Third Standard

You could try Freelance Audio in Altoona.... Talk to Brian 942-7131.
He should have the type of the equipment you need to do this show

Also try Rich Johnson with Brown Bag Productions. He uses EV stuff, no Peavey. Call 932-3056 and tell him Kevin sent you.

I suggest getting ahold of Lee worth . This guy has some serious eguipment that rocks. He usually does sound for the band Scream.
I would think this guy has everything you need and then some. My friend Mike Watkins runs the Lights for Lee worth, Im sure they would give you a very good price as well. I know he lives in Mt, Union. I'll try and get the number for Lee and post it for you. Let me no how you make out. Best of luck to you. Wish I could play with Jimmy's chicken Shack. Jason/CYPHIN

Freelance Audio can meet that rider with a couple substitutions. Call Brian soon. He is normally pretty busy.

What is the date and location of the venue, requirements for FOH speaker array and the number of hours that the system will be required.
