Clay Paky fixtures on Sublime with Rome’s summer tour

Sublime with Rome hit the road for a North American summer tour featuring 37 concerts coast to coast. Lighting designer Scott Warner of Karate Pinky Visual Design, LLC, Pittsburgh, has selected Clay Paky Sharpys, Sharpy Washes and A.leda B-Eye K20s for the tour. 

“The band is playing a lot of various sized venues, so we have a small rig.  But the fixtures and placement make it feel larger,” explains lighting director and programmer Aaron Craig. “It’s not so much about lighting the band but creating a big look. I programmed six or eight songs. The rest I do on the fly, since they don’t always follow the set list. That’s a lot of fun for me since most of my other shows are all cued out.”

All fixtures are mounted on a mid-stage beam truss in an asymmetrical V shape. Twelve Sharpy Washes light the audience; 12 Sharpys are under hung and used to make the big looks. Eight B-Eyes are suspended on tail down pipes; they act as a general wash for the tour’s three opening bands and as added texture for the set. The fixtures were obtained from Clearwing Productions’ Milwaukee office.
