SOLID LIGHT & SOUND

07/31/2025

We recently built our own Onyx console/roadcase with multiple touchscreens and motorized faders.

Had a long weekend of shows in early July with a lot of programming.

We also added 4 strobes/led panels to our rig that we run animations on through pixel mapping.

The console will be in Grand Rapids, MN this weekend as the fun never stops.

Can I tell my mom I'm a legit Lighting Designer/Small Business Owner now?

The next gig on the books is for Friday, July 18th. I'll be programming lighting for their set and breaking out a bunch of our new gear.

Saying I'm excited for this one would be an understatement.

Basic lighting truss setup for Five Sullivan Brothers. 10ft wide truss on crankstands with additional pars for front wash. All static looks, plug and play, no programming needed.

We can add another section for a 15ft wide truss, as well as add lasers and moving heads for our premium package. We control all our fixtures through Onyx and Pangolin Beyond for programmed lighting.

Contact us to light up your event in 2025! ✨️

Some throwback promo content from 2017 when SL&S first started. Man how time flies! You would catch me dead before running all my lights on sound activate mode together nowadays 😂.

What a crazy weekend full of gigs.

Over the past few months I've started working at The Fine Line and Skyway Theatre. I'm juggling that along side working for myself and my full time job as an Audio/Visual Tech at Mystic Lake Casino. Needless to say I have been very busy, but along with that comes a ton of experience and knowledge in my career field.

Thursday at Fine Line was hands down the best lighting I've done in that venue and a couple videos of the show got reposted so here is one of those.

Friday I broke out both of my new 3w Unity Elite Pro lasers for the first time. I didn't get a great video of them as I was busy but will for sure here soon.

Saturday I djed a wedding, and lately for that setup I've been using soundswitch to control the lighting to match the waveform of the music played from Serato. Overall I've invested a lot into my sound, lighting, lasers, VJ software, and wireless DMX over the last year to ensure I can provide the best quality production around.

Sunday I worked as the house LD for the Dayseeker tour and learned a lot from the touring Lighting team.

If youre still reading at this point I appreciate you and thanks to everyone who continues to support me in my endeavors.
