Pocket Tyme @ The 100 Men Hall

This past weekend BNP as always provided production for The 100 Men Hall show.  This time it was Pocket Tyme with Cornell Williams and Big D Perkins.  This was the grooviest, funkiest band I’d heard in a long long time.  While the show went as usual the band had hired a professional film crew to do some promo work for them.  ABIS Productions setup and videoed the entire night and we provided them with the audio.  We utilized the Presonus Studiolive 24.4.2 console and tracked each instrument individually for better post processing.  The result was amazing.  Check out the videos and links below.

Come check out a Hall show, show some support for ABIS and BNP and help spread the word!

St. Clement of Rome Oyster Festival and St. Matthews Family Fair

BNP got the call once again to assist The Sound Source for a weekend.  We headed over to METREE for the St. Clement of Rome Oyster Festival.  What a weekend.  First off FOH is right by Dragos booth so we get to smell all this wonderful cooking all weekend.  Second great bands each night.  Friday night Bag of Donuts, Saturday The Chee Weez and Sunday The Topcats (seems like we’re seeing these guys alot)  Weather was great all weekend not too cold, Friday night BOD hit the stage and were rocking as always.  Saturday The Chee Wheez killed it as well.  Now before we go on I need to mention Saturday the opening band was phenomenal  The NOLA Treblemakers;  If you need a band for an event these guys put on a show.  Rockabilly music for 2 hours straight with a great stage presence.  Outstanding job guys!!!  Got to meet some new people that weekend and make new friends and even learned a few tricks from Brian and Danny 🙂 Can’t wait for next year!

I say once again we got the call because a few weeks prior to that we were doing another festival for The Sound Source.  St. Matthews Family Fair, with The Topcats (these guys again lol)  Five Finger Discount and an upcoming band highlight on Sunday.  The weekend went great and again awesome food.  I’m learning something about these LA festivals, they know good food is key.
The past few posts have been short because I’ve been super busy.  Just trying to catch ya’ll up on what BNP has been up too the past couple months.  I’ll try to stay on top of it better next time!  🙂

Chackbay Gumbo Festival

I went to work with The Sound Source at the Chackbay, LA Gumbo Festival in Oct.  Three day event with swamp pop bands all day.  It was my first time working with the QSC Wideline system and I have to say I like it.  The weekend went great bands like The Topcats, Don Rich, Van Broussard, Junior and Sumtin Sneaky, and many more performed for the huge crowd.  Now I can’t mention this festival without talking about the food.  WOW… I ate so much that weekend I think I went up 2 pant sizes in one day.  Perfect Gumbo and they had these things called Crawfish Balls, I could literally eat my weight in those.  I’ll be glad to work for Mr. Tim Killbride any day, The Sound Source is LA number one Production company in my mind top notch work.

Crusin on the Wave

Oct 5-7th was lets say a busy weekend for BNP.

Starting Friday we setup for the 2nd Annual St. Matthews Jambalaya Festival in Dedeaux MS.  A great family festival with 2 great bands Friday and Saturday featuring Shea Michaels and Easy Street.  Good food family and music.

Saturday we started the day off early in Waveland, Ms.  The 12th Annual Waveland Wavefest put on by the Waveland Community Coalition was a HUGE success.  Teaming with Pelican Events; BNP provided production for some great acts that day.  Starting with Renegade a local band out of the Waveland area, then The Bucktown All Stars brought the funk, followed by The Topcats and headlining  the night The Molly Ringwalds.  Great crowd, beautiful day, and awesome music.
Also while Wavefest was going on other BNP crew members were setting up a Private event for the Gulfport Mayor.  Featuring Elmo and The Shades from Memphis, TN.  The turn out was great and everybody had a fun time.

Should we mention this is also Crusin The Coast weekend!!!!  Sunday BNP helped kick off Crusin The Coast in Gulfport with “View the Crusie” with the band Elmo and The Shades again.  We rocked downtown Gulfport for 4 hours, people looking at cars, dancing in the streets some awesome food  and a great time had by all.

We followed Sunday up with a Roof and Sound System for the Biloxi Crusin the Coast event as well with multiple performs on Weds.  All in all what a busy weekend for BNP but we love it!
