Canadian River Music Festival

I was called to work over a weekend with New Day for the Canadian River Music Festival on May 14. We would be working with another local sound reinforcement company in Canadian, Texas from Friday to Sunday, with artists such as Robert Earl Keen and Don Edwards.

We loaded the trailer and drove out Friday Morning. Our first order of business was to set up the indoor stage where the headliner Robert Earl Keen would be playing the next night. We hung lights and set up both monitor world, for on-stage monitor mixing, and front of house sound. After getting the indoor stage ready, we moved out to begin setting the outdoor stage, but did not have time to finish before we called it a day.

The next morning, we woke up early and finished set up and prepared to soundcheck artists. I had the opportunity to work with and even meet artists such as Robert Earl Keen, Don Edwards, and Tommy Alverson.
