Quality Gear, Unforgettable Experience
Your entertainment plays a huge part in the success of your event. Your band is a group of professional entertainers that get paid to deliver an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. You want a band on the cutting edge of technology that uses the highest quality gear. Here is a look under the hood of The Rising Tide. See how we achieve a beautifully authentic sound and present an awesome live experience every time.
The Right Instruments
Our apologies while we geek out on gear. We play the right instruments that provide the right sound for the song. Retro-styled drums that offer that vintage warmth with the right amount of punch for today’s hits. We use guitars that have that unmistakable tone. We rock programmable keyboards to emulate the analogue sound of the 60s & 70s, the synth-heavy 80s and today. Tube amps deliver that distinct overdrive and growling tone. The secret to the right sound is the instruments making the sound. Think wood grain, tweed & tubes. Put those on top of a gorgeous oriental rug, and you’ve got one great looking stage.
High Quality Sound Equipment
High quality microphones, 32 channel digital mixer and cutting edge, QSC speakers to produce the perfect listening environment. Yes, we have done our time working lugging huge analog mixers and being chained to fixed mixing locations. However, we made the conscious decision to use the most cutting-edge PA system available because we set out to create the best live show possible. One major perk of this is mixing the music from a wireless ipad from anywhere in the room! This allows us to fine tune our PA system to every point in the room, resulting in a perfect listening environment. Audio excellence. We are audiophiles, and from this, our clients benefit.
Industry Leading Light-show
When building an unforgettable show, all roads lead to lighting. We are well versed in lighting design and spec’d out a full scale, professional and portable lighting rig. Our lighting rig is unrivaled in the South East. The rig features all-LED lights for low power consumption and less heat. We travel with a truss, lighting trees, moving heads, moving light bars, spot lights and wash lights. All of which are controlled onsite by our lighting designer and sound engineer. Our lighting rig is one of the most exciting compliments to our show, plus it is flexible to fit any venue! We continually get compliments on the energy coming from the stage with lighting expertly designed and actively programmed to each song. Our lighting rig is a force of nature because it amplifies the experience and lights up the dance floor. Most importantly, the lighting rig actually seems to help the musicians on stage deliver a superb performance. because of the energy it brings.
Takeaways! Make sure the band you choose for your event is using the best quality gear available. Be sure that they have the right gear and a light show that keeps the party going until the last note.
