We can support sound for any gig in the Hampton Roads area. When playing shows outside the area, I can also supply all PA gear needed for the shows. Both for Solo and Acoustic Trio shows.

For Full Band shows, if lighting is needed and stage setup... that will have to be supplied by the entertainment buyer. We can look into sound provision if needed, but we would have to have more then a months notice.
