USA - Currently touring in support of Warpaint, their latest release on the independent Silver Arrow label, The Black Crowes have Scott "Scooby" Sherbin at the front-of-house mix position and Drew Cansalvo at monitors. Working in tandem to craft a stage plot relying entirely on Shure input, the pair draws upon an eclectic mix of traditional rock 'n' roll microphone elements along with newer catalogue offerings .

Given a choice, personally I would put SM57s on everything," Scott Sherbin says. "Ask me how to mic an elephant, and I'd just put a 57 on him. First and foremost, this is a rock 'n' roll band. That means they were born and bred with SM57s and SM58s. We don't ever want to lose sight of that fact, but at the same time we want to augment those sounds. Given the volume we're producing, we need something that steps out and allows us to change for solos and such."
