USA - Bandit Lites is supporting country music rising star Megan Moroney, who was recently named New Female Artist of the year at the 59th ACM Awards.
Bandit Lites founder Michael T. Strickland witnessed the raw potential and passion for music early in Moroney’s career saying, “I first saw Megan when she was just out of college and was not even a club act. After one show, you knew she had it. There are very few entertainers that have that magical combination of talent, songwriting, charm and charisma and they instantly draw you into their soul.”
Lighting designer Tim Keller crafted a supplemental package that would meet the size limitations of the truck pack, utilising Martin MAC Vipers and Cyc FX fixtures. With venue sizes ranging from intimate theatres to massive stadiums, simplicity has been the key to consistency.
In addition to performing on Kenny Chesney’s Sun Goes Down Tour this summer, Moroney toured with Bandit clients Jamey Johnson and Brooks & Dunn in addition to selling out her own headline tours, including the Lucky 2.0 Tour.
“The evolution of this show is rapid and exciting,” said Keller. “Coming from small clubs in the fall last year, to sold-out headline shows in amphitheatres, and opening for Kenny Chesney in stadiums, we are rapidly adapting to new challenges with excitement on how fast we are moving forward.
“It’s a pleasure working with Miss Moroney’s team and we’re proud to be along for the ride,” said Bandit Lites client representative Mike Stanley. “I have no doubt that her outlook is bright, and I’m excited to see what the future has in store.
“I've been enjoying growing with this camp. The support from the band, crew and management has been very positive and appreciated. I am thankful to the entire Megan Moroney team for having me out to light their fantastic show for them, and Bandit Lites for giving me this opportunity to grow as a professional.”
“Megan Moroney is one of the brightest stars in the industry now and we look forward to a long career with her,” finished Strickland.
