Well, I’m long over due for an update here at FrugalAudio.com. Rest assured, I’ve been busy working and remain eager to accept the challenge of working on your event! The past year has included dozens of shows at my local venue gig. Including shows with Joan Osborne (always fantastic), Huey Lewis, Aretha Franklin, Josh Turner, […]

Everything old is new again
Remember when everyone switched to digital consoles? You won’t need to carry those racks of gear anymore. No more outboard eq, comps, gates, effects etc. Less truck space equals fuel savings and less money for trucking. Fewer seats taken up means more money for the promoter. Everyone wins! Uh, yeah. Maybe not so much. Even […]

Better in fact, than I could ever be. […]

Local poet/artist Eric Johnt was in the Frugal Studio with some video editing for his exhibit at the Arts Enrichment Center. Zeo Brothers had me along […]
