So... you are producing the 80s hair metal, rock concert, musical theatre hybrid of a party? If you're here that means you are looking for the ideal lighting designer to help encapsulate your audience in the eccentric energy of the 80's era Sunset Strip.
You, my friend, are in the right place.
Meet Bowen Moss: rock roadie and lighting designer. While starting his career in musical theatre, Bowen quickly expanded his horizons in to "rock and roll kick assery" working on lighting systems for names like Joan Jett, REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar. Touring with similarly legendary groups like Earth Wind and Fire and Duran Duran, working and learning under the word renowned lighting designers that have been behind these household names for decades.
How does this translate? Can can you truly recreate the iconic rock atmosphere of the 1987 Sunset Strip? Let's take a look and see for ourselves.
