NASHVILLE – Bandit Lites reports that business development manager Brent Barrett started working with Lady Antebellum back in 2006, before the country music trio ascended the charts and winners podiums at the ACM, CMT, Teen Choice Awards and CMA Awards. Since then, manager Gary Borman, tour manger Tim Kreig, tour coordinator Dennis Brennan, production manager Curt Jenkins and lighting designer Carter Fulcham all worked with Barrett and Bandit to support the band with lighting designed by Chris Kantrowitz and Martin E. Potoczny and a set design by Jim Lenahan.
The very theatrical lighting system is a hybrid of traditional fixtures and some new LED products. Martin MAC 700s, Vari*Lite VL 3000 Spots, VL 3000 Washes, 8 lights, 2 lights, Atomic Strobes and a single 10K Fresnel form the base of the system, complemented by Bandit's new GRNLite Moving Wash 3-120 and GLP Impressions.
The GRNLite Moving Wash, with white LEDs in addition to the standard RGB, has a 25-degree beam angle and output levels that Bandit says is bright enough to keep up with the VL 3000s. Fulcham, former lighting director for Alabama, Kenny Chesney and others controls the rig via a grandMA console.
