“When I make my music, I want people to feel good, I can really feel that when they sing the lyrics back to me,” house heavyweight Sonny Fodera told an interviewer from Forbes earlier this year. The Australian-born star must have had no doubt that his music was having the desired elixir effect on his audience recently, when he performed two sold-out shows at O2 Academy Brixton. Throughout both shows, the walls of the iconic concert venue reverberated with fans responding to the highly emotive songs from his recently released fifth album “Wide Awake,” and other recordings.Read More »BIGABOX Calls on CHAUVET Professional to Support Sonny Fodera at O2 Academy Brixton
Mike Grabowski was thrilled with his experience designing the multiple stages under his purview for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in Times Square this year, except for one thing. His single regret didn’t involve the rain that fell for much of the evening, either. After all, the “unpredictability of nature,” comes with the territory when lighting outdoor events, said The Lighting Design Group’s senior designer. Plus, given that most of his rig was IP65 rated, he had little to worry about regarding the showers. (He and the team have seen a lot of challenging weather, being at Times Square on NYE, for over a decade of these shows.)Read More »CHAUVET Professional Creates NYE Magic for Mike Grabowski and The Lighting Design Group

Red and green may be the traditional holiday colors, but the true story and meaning of Christmas can often be better reflected with a broader and more varied palette. This was beautifully evident at the 90-minute “Christmas at Hillcrest” concert, which took place at the church’s Nine Mile Campus, as purples and blues, along with a host of other inspiring hues transformed the stage.Read More »Hillcrest Church Colorizes Christmas With CHAUVET Professional
“My client wanted this to have the look and feel of a quintessential Christmas show.” Every lighting designer can relate to that this time of year. But in Nate Haber’s case, the request was made with a bit of a different twist. Instead of being asked to support standard holiday tunes, his design had to reflect the raw, merciless power of death metal music in a Yuletide setting.Read More »Nate Haber Adds Festive Touch to A Lorna Shore Christmas with CHAUVET Professional
As Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas steamed out of port December 7 for the Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise, Nesta Garrick, Abbas Ritscher, and the entire team at The Design Oasis were grateful that they would be able to do something, they’d never done before: leave all their fixtures unbagged overnight. “This was the first time we didn’t have to worry about putting bags over our fixtures at the end of a long day,” said Ritscher, who oversaw the installation of the lighting rig on the ship. “That’s a tremendous time saver.”Read More »The Design Oasis Sails Smoothly at Jamrock Reggae Cruise with CHAUVET Professional IP65 Fixtures
Rain can play havoc with any outdoor festival. That much is true, but in Phoenix AZ? The second driest city in the USA (only Las Vegas gets less precipitation), Phoenix has gone as long as 160 days without rain; that happened back in 1972. The organizers of the inaugural Zona Music festival had no such luck. On December 3, the day the festival opened, Mother Nature dropped .76 inches of rain down on the city, breaking a record that had stood for 115 years.Read More »Creative BackStage and CHAUVET Professional Brighten Up Zona Music Festival

Alice In Chains hadn’t performed a live concert in three years when the band took the stage on Aug. 10 at The Star Lake Pavilion; but as the fans outside Pittsburgh discovered that night, and as thousands more at 29 other venues would learn over the next three months, it was well worth the wait.Read More »Scott Holthaus Accents Alice in Chains with CHAUVET Professional
