This year's concert calendar boasts performances from singer-songwriter Maria Taylor, electronic musician Dan Deacon and neo-folk act Iron & Wine, among others. EAW is a proud sponsor of the programme and recently donated some products to this worthwhile cause.
In 2008, EAW assisted the Vera Project by providing a selection of LA460 full-range loudspeakers, subwoofers and power amplifiers. Following that, the Vera staff saw an opportunity to upgrade their stage monitors. "EAW was kind enough to donate some SM12s and an SM15," notes Jeffery McNulty, tech-facilities manager for the Vera Project. "I had contacted Jon [Bosaw, EAW director of sales] to see about us purchasing some monitors, and he instead got really excited about helping us out in a very kind and generous way with a great donation."
McNulty is thrilled with the EAW products and what it has meant for the Vera Project. He said: "We have a great live sound programme here, and we are so happy to be able to teach people how to use this excellent EAW gear. We like to foster a new attitude here at the Vera where the artist comes first, with the audience a close second, so that touring acts have an enjoyable experience, and that of course starts with great gear and well-trained volunteers."
