From the humble, homemade cable trunks of the 70s to the tricked-out work boxes of today, road cases are at the beating heart of the industry that created them, just as reliable and invisible as the roadies themselves.
“The twist on this particular gig was that while we were the openers, the headliners were using our production.”
Previously, the author has reviewed a number of battery/inverter power options, and this time in the final installment of the series, evaluates a few recently released battery-powered loudspeaker options.
The pandemic caused a tectonic shift – things aren’t likely to go back to the way they were. What’s the way forward from here, particularly on the touring side of the equation?
Welcome to my world, where there’s high pressure, plenty of responsibility, lots of frustration, and zero room for error, but lots of variety, job satisfaction, and a high sense of accomplishment.
