Performing live is inherently flawed. Setting aside the big shows where the performers may have some control of the environment, many of us walk into a multi-purpose space, set-up our gear, and hope for the best. We compete with less-than-optimal acoustics, strange sight lines, the roar of coffee grinders, people trying to order, the clatter of dishes, competing demands to turn it up and turn it down, put on a great show in the least amount of floor space with the ideal combination of minimal impact and optimum results.
