Production Management and Sound
As a production manager and festival coordinator, I have years of experience supervising sound operators and stage crews at multi-stage events and festivals. I have supervised and provided leadership for planning and logistics in all facets of live music events. I have also independently produced concerts in Connecticut in small to medium venues, managing all aspects of the events. In 2013, I co-produced The Concert for Healing at the Ridgefield Playhouse along with Peter Yarrow and Tony Arancio; this concert was aired on PBS.
As a sound engineer, I have provided live sound reinforcement for many artists including Pete Seeger, Lucy Kaplansky, Dar Williams, Tom Chapin, Guy Davis, David Amram, Josh White Jr., Suzzy Roche, Lucy Wainright, and Richard Shindell.
"With Rick mixing sound, it felt like I was in a really great club in NYC. The sound was amazing"
~Lucy Kaplansky, Billboard-charting singer/songwriter
