Nonpoint’s live performances have been described as “sheer chaos and spellbinding magic.” Says Nonpoint’s manager, Rob Ruccia, “We are excited about joining these iconic forces in creating what promises to be two nights of electrifying raw energy to remember!”
Since its establishment in 2002, The Machine Shop has garnered recognition for attracting top live music entertainment on a local to international scale. Artists flock to this legendary 550 capacity venue, drawn by its unique atmosphere, quality of light and sound, and artist-friendly terms.
One of the primary goals of this collaboration is to provide artists with dramatically increased income potential through live streaming, with audio mixed by Wright. This exclusive service will be available for sold-out shows.
Says Wright, “I am excited to team up with such an iconic venue to give opportunities and bigger revenue streams to artists.”
His work on Alice In Chains’ MTV Unplugged is still celebrated as one of the best sounding albums of the seminal live series. His partnership with The Machine Shop aims to take artists’ income potential to new heights.
The Machine Shop Digital Lounge will also offer video production services for all live shows. With Toby Wright’s mixing and Jimi Brown’s esteemed lighting skills, this service offers artists valuable tools with which to compete on a global scale.
Helping to facilitate this exciting venture is Shannon O’Shea, a veteran manager and artist advocate with an impressive track record. O’Shea is best known for her innovative work as the co-creator and founding manager of the multi-platinum band Garbage, and the critically acclaimed band, 8mm. Alongside groundbreaking producers such as Toby Wright, Sean Beavan, Butch Vig and Jimmy Miller, O’Shea has consistently pushed the boundaries of the music industry.
O’Shea explains, “With ever-growing avenues of independent promotion and distribution, our mission is to provide affordable opportunities for artists to work with world-class talent that they might otherwise not have access to, empowering them to deliver competitive content.”
