![]() I've worked as a sound engineer and tour manager since 1993. In 1997, I sold my live club to pursue my dream: to tour around with bands as a sound engineer. Since then, being a sound engineer occupies me full time. I am also registered as a tour manager/promoter. Obviously, everything I did and do is related with my big love: music. All time favorites include Led Zeppelin, Lou Reed and Neil Young, but of course there are many "this time" favorites: Wilco, Ray laMontagne, Archie Bronson Outfit, Sonic Youth, Steve Earle, Massive Attack, Masters Of Reality, Heartless Bastards... A few bands I have toured with (all US bands, except where noted) are: * The Baseball Project
(Steve Wynn, Dave Decastro, Linda Pitmon, Scott
McCaughey) A few booking agencies I have worked with (and continue to work with) include Tornado Concerts, Konzertagentur Berthold Seliger, and Belmont Bookings. When I'm not on the road, I work for PA companies and as house engineer in various clubs. As a result of my work in a multi cultural centre (O42, in Nijmegen) for 8 years, I'm experienced with rock, pop, jazz, punk, roots, world music... the list goes on. I have mixed for crowds numbering 4 to 40,000 people. Also I'm a licensed and experienced bus/nightliner driver. For a small line up, max 3 people, I have a brand new Mercedes Vito with seperate backline space. Ask for special rates!
If you're looking for a skilled and experienced sound engineer and/or tour manager to do a tour around Europe (or anywhere), ask your manager/booking agent/record company to get in touch with me. I'd be happy to discuss details. My experience in pre-production (making tour budgets, arranging all transportation, backline rental, crew... etc) often saves clients money before the first show even begins, simply by choosing the best options out there for your tour - as every tour and every artist is different and has different needs. You'll sound your best, because with all other details taken care of, you can concentrate fully on performing and making your music. P.O.
