Encore Audio

 
 

Darren, you were a breath of fresh air during a week of marginal sound, thanks so very much!

"Darren, you do AWESOME sound!! When you ran sound for Black Tooth Grin, I was blown away. Keep rockin' man!"

"Darren is worth his weight in gold! He took the time and put the extra effort in to make it sound as clear as possible. Darren maintains a positive attitude throughout and makes any system sing to its full potential. He really knows his sound, and we are looking forward to working with him again soon!"

"Working with Darren and Encore Audio is always a pleasure, he provides top quality sound and top quality service. One of the most important tasks of a sound man is to stay by the board, much too often that gets forgotten, it is really nice to work with someone who doesn't just set it and forget it, Darren and Encore audio are always paying attention to what's happening on stage, staying by the board to make sure you're getting the most out of your performance!"
Ricky Marshall, Guitarist, The Southern Comfort Band

"I have had the pleasure of working with Darren for two years in a row now on a huge gala weekend and benefit performance concert for Berkshire Pulse, a dance school and performing arts training program in Housatonic, MA. After decades as a professional stage manager, I have worked with many a top-notch sound tech and board operator and I have to say that Darren is one of the most professional in demeanor and genuinely caring I have ever met. He is a team-player of the highest order and consistently shows up (on time!) with a “how can I help” attitude while still being a stickler for detail where his craft is concerned."
