Stage Plots

Three configurations covering the range of rooms we play, from tight lounge corners to full corporate and wedding stages. Pick the one that fits the room, or send the dimensions and we will confirm.

Seven piece, by position: two vocals / acoustic, two guitars, bass, piano / keys, and drums. Vocals hold front center adjacent to the audience; guitar and bass are interchangeable string positions, and every layout stays balanced left to right.

All in-ear monitors. No stage wedges.

We supply and run our own monitoring, so the stage stays clean and the downstage edge is fully open. Nothing for the house to patch, position, or trip over. Walt runs sound from the kit on our PreSonus StudioLive 32R.
