WEST AKRON RECORDING & SOUND
FOR BANDS SCHEDULED TO PLAY AT SADIE RENE'S

Fliers MUST be sent to or delivered to the club AT LEAST 2 weeks ahead of your scheduled show, no exceptions. Otherwise, no complimentary draft beer... PERIOD.

Friday and Saturday bands should have NO OPENING ACTS.

Bring extra strings and/or cables if possible.

MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR EQUIPMENT IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER! (seems like a no brainer but you'd be surprised)

All bands should plan on starting at 10:00 P.M. whether their fans have arrived or not. (another no brainer, go figure)

Please be at the club NO LATER than 7:00 P.M. for load in.

Send your stage plot AT LEAST 2 weeks ahead of your scheduled show to
[email protected], fax it to me at (330) 867-3476, or bring it to the club. I don't care if it is hand drawn or generated from your computer. Just be sure to show your preferred stage layout, show the instruments you have, the number of microphones, etc.

Please notify me if you have your own sound and or lights. (it's not a problem but let me know)


I started dabbling in sound when I was 14 years old and running sound for a band called Milestone 3 years later. By the time I hit 20, I found myself as the lead guitarist with a band called Unit 5. We were signed with Clone Records and even hit #1 for a whole week in Nice, France (after we had broke up)!

I certainly loved playing but  I've really had a blast
recording and running sound for the last 25 years... or so. I have an extensive amount of live sound experience with rock and pop acts, jazz players, symphonies, country artists, and public speakers. Some of my past clients...  the Cairo Opera and Cairo Symphony Orchestra, The Raspberries, The Virginia Symphony Orchestra, The Twistoffs, Pinki Mojo, Alexis Antes, and Dink are a few... and you may be next.

If it's a PA or professional sound installation you're after, I have a lot of experience with installing sound systems for homes, clubs, studios, churches, AV for hotels and conference centers,restaurants, hospitals, and schools. Drop me a note and we can talk about your specific needs. You can call me at (330) 867-3248 but email is best:
[email protected]. Thanks for stopping by.
