Well, it’s that time again! I’ve got the last two tours of the year (at least for now) starting in a few days. Needless to say, I’ve very excited to get back out on the road and mix at some great venues again. It’s been a great year of touring, and hopefully, next year is even better!
I’ll be doing front of house for WHY? for the first 5 weeks of this jaunt, and then front of house and tour managing for THE FAMINE for the next 6 or so after that (dates pending).
Here’s a show list for WHY?

We’re hitting some pretty big venues this go-round. Should prove to be a great experience.
I’m really looking forward to the shows at The Granada in Dallas, Bowery Ballroom in NYC, Triple Rock in Minneapolis, and then of course the House of Blues, and Verizon Theatre type venues are always a pleasure to mix.
(Skip this part if you don’t care about nerdy sound stuff…)
I purchased a few goodies in the past few weeks that I’m extremely happy to get to use on these tours.
I got a TC Electronic D2, Drawmer DL241, a whole mess of adapters, and another Radial JDI. I’m running 30 channels for Why? and not much less for The Famine. My rack now consists of a TC Electronic D2 and M1, DBX 266, and the Drawmer DL241. Every night I’ll be running two different Delays (one short, one long), and two different reverbs (again, one short, one long).
