More happens from the Bones tour (cool pics in this one)

 

Soooooo now that Denver/Telluride (I just got this cool pic from the Telluride Fest above, enjoy) is out of the way we headed out to good ole California for a few dates. We started in San Diego at a local college which turned out to be a really cool gig. The college radio station aired the show live and had a great stage to work with. When we loaded in there were several students who were instructed to help me setup and shadow what I was doing and how I set my rig up. Thus began my first teaching experience which was awesome considering the guy hasn’t got the chance to work with automated lighting yet. I guess a lot of those cats only get introduced to the traditional theater style with par, ellipsoidal, fresnel, source 4 lighting, etc. So I explain it to the best of my ability and get everything ready.

Martina McBride

Lighting Designer Abigail Rosen Holmes:  “I was very pleased to be asked to work with Martina again. She’s very involved in the design and very clear about what she likes, and really knows what is going to feel right for her and the music.  Martina’s great production team and crew, Trevor included, were just fantastic to work with. They make touring a show like this look a lot easier than it is!”
