This past summer brought the same good times in the region as all summers do. Fantastic crowds at 8 great Tuesday numbering upwards of 7000, hugely successful block parties, and the Erie Art Museum hitting a grand slam with the Blues and Jazz Festival as always.

A Change in Production
One of the most exciting differences came with a brand new look to Raven Sound and it\'s production capabilities. Celebrate Erie was the maiden voyage for our brand new stage roof and lighting rig. A 42x42 roof with a 120 par cans stared up State Street for the year\'s largest regional event. This year a number of local acts performed with headlining artists: Boogie Wonder Band, Three Dog Night and Joe Nichols. More pictures of load in, the events, and the fans can be found on our Facebook Photo Albums here.
Roof Specs:
- 42\'x42\' Grid (fits around a 40\'x40\' stage)
- 32\' Tall
- 2 8\' Downstage Outriggers to Hang PA
- 60 Double Hung Par cans in both the upstage and down stage truss
- 6 1\' box truss ground rig points
- Can be flown with 6 rig points in certain venues
- Ample Advertising space above stage and on front posts
A-Line Acoustics PA
An A-Line Acoustics AL-10 and LS215 double hung PA flew above 6 LS218 subwoofers per side and provided incredible coverage for the masses that flocked into downtown for each night. Raven provided an M7CL in Monitor World and a Soundcraft Series 5 at FOH.
