Reminiscent of the 1990s, the Summerland Tour will include alternative rock bands such as Everclear, Todies, Fuel, and American Hi-Fi supported by Allen & Heath.
The bands will travel to more than 30 cities in North America starting June 11th in Fort Myers, Florida and will wrap August 16th in Riverside, California.
Derek Steinman, production manager/front of house for Everclear/Summerland Tour, is looking forward to using Allen & Heath’s gear because of its ease of operation and superiority of sound.
“We carry two Allen & Heath iLive T-112 console surfaces and two iDR-32 mix racks. The sound quality is excellent. Many of the local house engineers I worked with last year on this tour were amazed at how good these consoles really do sound. I usually end up showing them around on the board a little and letting them take a test drive,” Steinman said.
Steinman also likes the way Allen & Heath designs their equipment. “The clean layout and dedicated knobs allow you to mix with your head up watching the band instead of watching a screen. It really allows you to be part of the show. On a few occasions we even had the local engineer mix the first band even though it was their first time on an iLive. That’s how easy it is to dial up good mixes.”
