Concert lighting for rooms that don't have any

Tribute concerts, cover sets, album releases, community showcases. If your venue has no house rig, I bring one — ground-supported truss, moving washes, controlled haze — and I run cues to your setlist as you actually play it. Encores included.

Book a Show

Cues charted to the setlist, run by hand

Send the setlist a week out and I chart the show song by song — intros, drops, the solo, the last chorus. On the night I'm at the board, not a playlist: if you swap the order, stretch a bridge, or take an encore, the light stays with you. That's the whole point of having an operator instead of a preset.

From one night behind the board

A full tribute concert in Seattle — same rig, same operator you'd book. Shot by Katie Choe.

Full band ensemble raising their hands under a violet light wash — **The full-ensemble peak.** Wide wash at the finale — big enough to feel, controlled enough to film.

Two vocalists performing under a cool blue light wash — **The quiet duet.** Cool blue pulled toward cyan so faces stay sharp for every camera in the room.

Where this fits

Cover sets and album release shows
Community and cultural showcases
Breweries, bars, and halls with no house rig
Rented rooms and DIY spaces
Covered outdoor stages

Why bands book it

No house rig? No problem

The truss stands on its own feet — no ceiling points, no venue engineering conversation. Any room you can book, I can light.

Audience phones become promo

Color and intensity are calibrated for camera sensors, so the clips your crowd posts that night look like tour footage, not a white blur.

Turnover-friendly

Load-in, focus, and strike are planned around the venue's schedule and the opener's changeover — I've been the one waiting on a slow crew; I don't run one.

Club sets often fit Essential at $1,200 flat; a full-production show is usually Signature at $1,500. See what's in each package →

Bands ask

Do you need our setlist in advance?

Send it about a week out and I chart cues to it — intros, drops, solos, the final chorus. If the order changes on the night or you add an encore, that's fine: the board is run live, so the light follows what you actually play.

Our venue has no lighting system at all. Is that a problem?

That's the core use case. The truss is ground-supported and self-standing — breweries, halls, DIY spaces, and rented rooms with bare ceilings all work. If the venue does have some house fixtures, I can fold them in or bring the full rig anyway.

Is haze okay in small venues?

I run a low-output hazer that reads as clean beams on camera rather than fog, and I coordinate smoke-detector and ventilation logistics with the venue before load-in — not as a surprise on the night.

What does a club show cost?

Same flat packages as every Cuebeam booking: $1,200 Essential, $1,500 Signature, $1,800–$2,000 Premium. Smaller rooms and shorter sets often fit Essential; a full-production tribute show is usually Signature.
