S2E7: How I Became a Concert Lighting Designer with Jeff Maker

Update: 2020-06-22

Description

If you’ve ever gone to a live concert, I’m sure you’ve noticed not just the music but the amazing lighting that really gives you the full concert experience. But who is behind designing this lighting? Today, I’m getting the answers from Jeff Maker, who has been working as a touring lighting designer for concerts the past 14 years and has worked with some BIG groups like Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Dropkick Murphys, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Yellowcard, Boys Like Girls, and Click Five. He’s been nominated for one of the top honors in the touring industry, the “Lighting Designer of the Year” at the Parnelli Awards. In this episode, we chat about how he started his career in lighting design, what it’s like to be doing lights live for concerts for huge bands like Good Charlotte, and advice he has for other aspiring lighting designers.
