Backstage With Westone - Louder Than Before Tour

Recently the Westone Music team drove up to Denver to catch up with Jeremy Camp, The Afters and Chasen on the Louder Than Before Tour. These are always three great bands to hang out with a watch on stage. Just flat out GREAT musicians, all of them (yes even Randy Williams of Jeremy Camp's band who spent more time showing off his Westone's than playing). These guys love their ES2's and ES3X's!!

Jeremy Camp's - Speaking Louder Than Before, The Afters -  Never Going Back To OK and Chasen's - That Was Then, This is Now (coming out soon) are three albums we recommend!! We've got some photos posted in our album section along with this video Leif from Jeremy Camp's band filmed of our very own Michael West doing impressions at the show.

Back at the Contemporary Music Center

We're back here on Martha's Vineyard at the Contemporary Music Center. Probably one of the coolest campuses around. We'll be spending the rest of the week talking about hearing protection, in-ear monitoring, taking ear impressions of the students and just getting to know them. This year the students have a real treat in their special instructors; Ryan Lampa (FOH for TobyMac and Babyface) and Rick Elias (Musical Producer of My Big Fat Greek Wedding & That Thing You Do). Tomorrow is "show night" so we are looking forward to see the talent this year.

Backstage With Westone - Shinedown

Last night the Westone Music crew was back up in Denver to catch up with our friends Shinedown. The entire lineup (Halestorm, Chevelle, Shinedown and Staind) was stellar last night at the historic Fillmore Auditorium in downtown Denver, CO.  If this tour has not hit your area yet, we HIGHLY recommend catching it. Awesome production and high energy rock'n roll... doesn't get much better than that.  The guys in Shinedown are using a mix of ES2 and ES3X monitors. If you do not already have Shinedown's current album, The Sound of Madness.. check it out!  We posted lots more pics in our Photo Album.

Backstage with Westone - HeavenFest (Skillet, Third Day, Matthew West and others)

This past Saturday the Westone Music team made their way up to Brighton, CO for HeavenFest. This is the second year for the festival an apparently people liked it. Last year there were about 11,000 in attendance. This year they are reporting 32,000 folks showed up and rocked out! 80 bands, 8 stages...and the weather was in the "perfect" category!  Some of the main bands/artists this year were; Matt Maher, Phil Wickham, Matthew West, Seventh Day Slumber, Kutless, Skillet, Stellar Kart and Third Day. Not a band line up!  We've got some photos in our photo album, so be sure to check those out.  Also, make sure to check out the latest projects by these artists. There are some good tunes to be heard!!

Westone Announces Endorsement With Darryl Worley

Westone Music is excited to announce our recent endorsement with country music artist, Darryl Worley.

“I've used several different products, but my Westone earbuds are the best by far. The highs are crisp, the lows are really warm and because they are designed with quality components, you can have any mix that you desire.” - Darryl Worley

Make sure to check out Darrly's latest release, Sounds Like Life.

Backstage with Westone - Jars of Clay

This past Thursday night the Westone Music team met up with Jars of Clay at The Ogden Theater in Denver, CO.  Jars of Clay is currently out on their Long Fall Back to Earth Tour. Their new album, The Long Fall Back to Earth just released this past April. The guys are using a mix of Westone ES2 and ES3X musicians' monitors while on tour. We highly recommend catching them live in concert and picking up their album!! Check out the rest of the photos in our album.

40th Annual Dove Awards

Last week the Westone Music team was in Nashville for GMA Music Week and the 40th Annual Dove Awards. The first few days of the week (GMA Music Week) is a time for industry heavyweights to get together, new artists to be shopping their music and Indies to learn more about the industry. We were on hand connecting with several of our artists and friends, showing off the new UM3X and introducing new artists to Westone Music. The week is packed with nightly artist/label showcases, so sleep is optional throughout the week.

Backstage with Westone - Rock and Worship Roadshow

 

On Thursday the Westone Music team was able to meet-up with quite a concert line up in Denver; MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson, Tenth Avenue North and The Afters. Quite a few DOVE and GRAMMY awards and nominations in that line up!  The Rock and Worship Roadshow is a cool idea in that it's only $10 at the door, no tix.  If it has not hit your area yet, we highly recommend catching this show. Check out our Photo Album for some shots of the concert.

MusikMesse

The Westone Music team is on the way to Frankfurt, Germany to join with our European Distributor Variphone at the 2009 MusikMesse show.  Probably one of the largest shows in the world, the guys will be jumping this week. Rumor is there might be something new up their sleeves... guess we'll find out!

Backstage With Westone - Creation Festival the Tour

This past Saturday we drove up to Greenwood Village (south of Denver) and met up with several of our friends out on the Creation Festival tour. It's quite the show, 9 bands and over 5 1/2 hours of pure, fist pumping rock n' roll. This was one show we were happy to have our custom hearing protction with us. Some of the bands playing were Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, Fireflight, Worth Dying For and several others. It was quite fun! The tour is winding down, but if you live in TX they will be down there this week, catch it if you can.  We'll post a few pics from the Fireflight set in our Photo Album.
