WE ARE GIVING AWAY A FREE YAMAHA MG82CX MIXER TO ONE LUCKY PERSON!!!!

What are all those knobs for?

Can everyone in the audience hear clearly?

Are the musicians happy with their sound?

Find the answers to these and other common, and not so common, sound reinforcement questions at this special event.

Problems with a sound system distract from your event or service. John will share stories, tips and tricks that you can put to use immediately. Our staff will also be available to help you evaluate your needs, understand your gear, and review your options, including: should you select powered or unpowered speakers, how big of a mixer do you need, what’s the best spot to place speakers and more.  All workshop attendees will receive a free copy of “Exploring Sound Reinforcement” a DVD with over two hours of valuable information about sound!

This is kind of late notice for this month, but I would like to get a new tradition started here.

Every first Thursday is Jam Session Thursday at Easy Music Center King Street.  Customers were asking me to have the stage made available to them at designated times of the month.  I normally respond that the stage is open to everyone all of the time, but after thinking about it, I think having a dedicated Jam Session time every month is a good idea.  Of course, our stage really is open to you any time of the day.  People get up there and rock out all the time.  But, if you are a little bashful, or are hoping that other random folks will get up there too and fill in on different instruments, then come down on Thursday evenings from 5:00 pm to 6:30pm.  We will have the stage ready to go (we normally do anyway) with microphones, a guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums.  Just get up on the stage and get rocking!!!

Remember….every first Thursday of each month!  First one is tomorrow night!
