Country Star Orville Peck Takes Heil Sound PR37 On The Road

Front of house mixer Roberto Pagano found the Heil PR31BW to his liking for a multitude of instruments on stage, while for vocals he's using all PR37s.

Country music artist Orville Peck, who wears a fringed mask and has never shown his face publicly, performs live with a Heil Sound PR37 microphone with a custom gold finish that matches the artist’s gold lamé suits and matching hat.

Peck spent much of 2022 on the “Bronco Tour” with band members Kristopher Bowering (drums), Kyle Connolly (bass), Duncan Jennings (guitar) and singer Bria Salmena (keys, guitar, BGV). The year wrapped up at the Greek Theater where he hosted “Orville Peck’s 4th Annual Rodeo” featuring multiple artists performing at the Los Angeles venue.

Roberto Pagano, Peck’s front of house mixer, found the Heil PR31BW to his liking for a multitude of instruments on stage, including most of the drum kit, guitar cabinets and congas, while for vocals he’s using all PR37s.

“When I first began working with Orville I tried the PR35 and that worked very well. I was intrigued when the PR37 came out and was very impressed with that and made the switch this year,” Pagano says. “Orville knows what it’s supposed to sound like in his ears and when it is working. That mic is perfect for his voice.

“The PR 37 works really well on Bria’s vocals too. She sings a few duets with Orville, which are big moments in the show. We have been on a real growth spurt the last two years or so and it helps to have a consistent situation with the microphones. The people at Heil Sound are always great to work with and I’m looking forward to a big year in 2023.”

The tour relied heavily on local venue production but carried an IEM system manned by monitor mixer Nate Peterson utilizing Midas M32 console, JH Audio monitors, and sub-snake and splitter and a complement of Heil Sound mics for the band.
