Jody and Gary Soland

AUDIO-VISUAL NEEDS



Gary and Jody Soland are singer/songwriters who bring original music with a message to many events. They have a wonderful ability to connect with and engage their audiences. In order to provide the best possible outcome for your event, please provide the following:



1. A good public address system that includes a mixer, reverb unit,good speakers, and a monitor. Speakers on stands are preferred.



2. A stand-alone mixer with 4 channels open so that Jody and Gary can use two channels for vocals, one for Guitar, and one for CD tracks.



3. Two vocal microphones on adjustable stands not attached to a podium, with cords to send the sound through the mixer.



4. CD player with connection cables to send the music through the mixer.



5. 4 open audio channels total will be needed on the mixer for Jody and Gary's performance, which will cover the 2 microphones, guitar and CD player.



Jody and Gary need a 30-minute block of time to set up their equipment and do a sound check at least 90 minutes before the program



Visual Requirements



To provide everyone a good view and the best possible experience:



If Jody and Gary will not be performing in a theatre or a theatre-like venue; we require a portable riser stage, preferably 8 x 12. If the group is over 200 people, it's best to have a riser that is at least 18 inches off the floor. Please set the stage as close to the audience as possible, or seat the audience as close to the stage as possible. For an audience of 350 or more, an amplified light package greatly increases the impact of the presentation. Two light stands are ideal, along with a spotlight if possible.



To eliminate audience distraction: Please do not have anyone sitting on stage during Jody and Gary's program. We require a performance space that is separate from the lectern/head table area. If a podium is being used, please remove it from the stage before Jody and Gary's performance begins.



To give Jody and Gary a place to put their notes and water onstage, please provide a small table (the size of a piano bench is fine) with 2 water bottles on it or several glasses of water without ice. This is easier for them to handle onstage.



To make Jody and Gary's CD's available, please provide a long table in a well lit, high traffic area where they can be viewed before and after the performance. Please provide a helper who can man the table at all times.
