"Steve and Dan produced the sound for an amazing Survivorship Day at Kaiser. The sound was incredible. They knew exactly what to do, and we were set up for 8 musicians. We couldn't have sounded better."
"A fantastic job at yesterday's BrewFest! Steve, CB and Trevor knocked it out of the park, literally!"
"I've played shows handled by numerous FoH engineers, including the late, great Tom Size, and your work ranks up there with the best of them."
"Great equipment, easy sound check and very good people to work with. Every musician knows you can't sound good without a good sound tech and a good sound system."
