Brantley Gilbert on tour with Clay Paky Scenius

Howard Jones and Nate Alves, who codesigned the lighting for Brantley Gilbert’s ‘Black Out World Tour’, have selected an array of Clay Paky fixtures, including the new Scenius moving head spotlight. Jones is president of DCR (Digital Console Rental, Inc.) in Nashville, which provided the sound, lighting and video for the tour. He also designed Gilbert’s previous two tours.

Jones deployed DCR’s inventory of Clay Paky Scenius fixtures on this tour. “We were among the first companies in the US to offer Scenius, which gave us an advantage,” he says. Jones and Alves distributed 16 Scenius fixtures throughout the main body of the truss and placed 15 more in the downstage truss. “We used them as the primary front light for everyone except Brantley,” Alves explains.

The lighting designers also had 34 Clay Paky Mythos fixtures in the finger trusses over the stage. Thirteen Clay Paky Stormy CC strobes made their tour debut. Eight color fixtures were on the main body of the truss; five regular Stormys were on the downstage truss. “We used them for their strobe effects, color toning and as full-on audience lights,” says Jones. Eight Clay Paky Sharpys were on the floor downstage left and right where the designers deployed their effects package.
