[Craven Sound]

My day job is looking like my future may be limited, possibly having to take a huge pay cut just to stay employed. Like most middle class shlubs, I live from week to week and probably won't be able to afford a pay cut so I need to try make some extra dosh to keep the lights on and some grub in the fridge.

About me: I've been around sound gear for 25+ years so it's time to make these skills turn into some cash. I can run your rig or provide a complete system if needed, or even supplement yours if you only have part of a system. I live "up the mountain" and gas is expensive, so it's not likely I'll drive an hour for a $50 three hour gig. Below is a list of groups I've ran for, and there are a lot more that I've done stage tech work for.

I've run FOH for:

Flight 19
7th Gear
Locked and Loaded
H.F. 1
The Grimm
L.A. Guns
Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg
Trout Fishing in America



Notable bands I've run monitors for:

Warrant
Great White
Ratt
Matt Nathanson
Rockapella

There are a lot more groups but can't even begin to remember them all. Feel free to PM me here and I'll provide my cell if you'd prefer we chat in person.

Also, I *can* DJ if someone has a last-minute thing. I don't claim to be a DJ, but can provide it if I absolutely have to. (Not trying to take work from a band's plate, just throwing it out there in case a cancellation type situation happens again.)

[Craven Sound]

Had a few tire kickers, but nothing firm. I can provide as much or as little gear as you need.

Complete system will consist of NO junk or C-class gear, (Behringer, Nady, Peavey, etc.) and the basic rig will consist of:

(2) 1x18 subs
(2) 1x12 and 1'' driver mid/high
(4) 1x12 and 1'' monitor cabs on two mixes
Main speakers are Yorkville and Martin
Monitors are Yamaha
Allen & Heath mixer (16 or 24 depending on needs)
QSC PL and PLX power

June, July and part of August are booked solid. Thanks for the work everyone!

[Craven Sound]

Now booking for mid August and beyond. I'm also the new in-house guy at YP when I'm not busy doing my own thing. I'd like to thank Brad Hawken for hooking me up with that!

Now accepting September dates.

Here are a few youtube vids that a band I worked for posted on their channel. All they used was a very small camcorder- sounds decent on headphones or good speakers.
