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.

2010 CES

We're making final plans for 2010 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) next week in Vegas baby! This is looking to be a great show with the addition of the iLounge Pavilion. We'll be in booth 3825 with our silent band. Make sure to stop by and give them a listen! We'll be posting pics and vids from the floor all week.

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!!

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.

Westone Signs on as Backstage Artist Lounge Sponsor at Rock on the Range

This May 16th & 17th, Westone Music will be the official sponsor of the Backstage Artist Lounge at Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. With a lineup that includes Flyleaf, Shinedown, Buckcherry, Alice in Chains, Korn and Motley Crue this is going to be one rawkfest for sure!  Tickets are still available, so make sure to get them while you can. We'll be posting more once things get going. Never know what will happen backstage with this lineup!!

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.

Back at the Contemporary Music Center

The Westone Music team got back to Martha's Vineyard yesterday to meet with the students of Semester 16.  We'll be spending a few days out here at The Contemporary Music Center again getting to know the students and introducing them to Westone.  Currently we're sitting in a Critical Listening Class (AKA listening to AMAZING tracks for an hour)... yeah we wish we were students as well!  We'll post more during our visit out here.

Backstage with Westone - The James Douglas Show

Last night we caught up with The James Douglas Show up in Denver.  These guys put on an amazing live show. If funk is your thing, then this needs to be your band!  Their current album The New Black is a great collection of tunes. The band is using a mix of the Westone Elite Series monitors.
