Concert Production Services

Grab the right concert production services for your gig
By Kristina Seleshanko A concert production service is just what it sound like: a service that puts together a concert or other live event, including organizing or creating the stage and designing lighting and audio. Concert production specialists find all the experts necessary to produce a quality concert. Freeing artists or venue owners of this huge task, they find talented techies, keep everyone on schedule and pay the staff, among other tasks. Sometimes concert production companies even venture into show promotion and general management.

Whether you're a musician or you own a music venue, the success of your concert will hinge greatly on who provides concert production for your shows. A quality concert production resource will be a tremendous asset to your business, making the process smooth for you and the performers and creating an outstanding look to the show. On the other hand, poor concert production can ruin an otherwise excellent show. This guide will help you find:

1. Concert production services in the East,

2. Concert production resources in the West,

3. And concert production companies in the North and South of the United States.

Discover concert producers on the East Coast

Not surprisingly, most concert production companies on the East Coast are located around bigger cities like New York and Boston. Many travel, however, so don't be afraid to ask a company if they are willing to come to your location.
Try:  Pro-Stage of New York provides a variety of concert production services, including audio, lighting, roofs, stages, security, event management and much more. Indigo Productions of New York offers sound, lighting, stage, roof and backline services. Matrix 1 of Massachusetts specializes in audio production for events and concerts. Concert Sound & Lighting, also of Massachusetts, provides full event production, plus rentals of concert production products.

Locate concert production specialists on the West Coast

Concert production service is somewhat easier to find in the West. Although you might think most production companies do business in obvious cities like Los Angeles, you'll also find experts in states like Washington and Nevada.
Try:  Harris Technical Services, also of Washington, provides quality concert production. American Entertainment of Nevada is a full-service concert production company specializing in concert tours, trade shows and corporate events. Kinetic Lighting of California focuses on concert and event lighting with the latest technology.

Contact concert producers in the North and South

Although it's more difficult to find concert production information in middle America, there are still plenty of production companies around. Most specialize in corporate events, but many are also quite capable of handling more commercial events.
Try:  ICP Atlanta of Georgia offers stages, lighting and audio services for concerts. In Concert Productions of Illinois offers producing for small and large concerts and events. Master Sound Productions of Florida offers sound, lighting and video equipment services, plus rentals and sales of concert production products. Got You Covered of Arizona provides full concert production services; their executives have worked with artists such as Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sting and Garth Brooks.

• Seemingly small details make a big difference in concert production. For example, experts suggest all concerts be performed on a stage--preferably at least 4 feet high. This makes the experience more enjoyable for patrons in the back.
