September 24, 2025Great Reviews from the Chior Director
I found this gentleman for the choir but was unable to attend the event . This is what the Director wrote me….
Yes, Jesse Clayton and his assistant Kyler. They were absolutely fabulous to work with. We have never had a better experience with the sound, and I already booked him for 2026! Thanks for your lead, Nancy.

November 26, 2023Very Reliable and Professional!
I have been working with Blackbear Live Sound for several years and for several different style events. From full theater productions to small variety shows, they have always been so helpful and able to troubleshoot, execute, and produce amazing sound and lighting for me. Jesse is very good at what he does and I never have to worry about anything I put him in charge of. Highly recommended for events no matter how big or small.

What to expect
I am all about being as prepared as possible for an event, making sure I know and understand what is expected during the performance. I accomplish this by coordinating as much as possible with either the musicians or the events team.
About
Hi! My name is Jesse, and I've been doing live sound reinforcement since 2015. This has ranged from simple backyard concerts to large outdoor venue shows. I have done sound reinforcement and mixing for multiple marching bands, musical theatre groups, high school performing groups, and keynote speaker presentations.
I consider live sound my hobby, as it doesn't seem like work to me, and I enjoy making an event happen.
