Corona: Chris Hathaway chooses Chauvet for Blackberry Smoke drive-in show

Chris “Thumper” Hathaway made the backdrop created for Blackberry Smoke’s “Leave A Scar” LP an integral part of his design for the band’s performance at the Starlight Drive-in in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Aside from that, the colorful backdrop also helped him create a look for the show, despite the small size of the drive-in stage. Hathaway chose eight Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 1 Wash fixtures for his rig.

To bring out the full power of the backdrop, the LD adopted what he calls a “no-color approach” toward lighting this show. Aside from directing hints of color at truss and posts, he mostly relied on white light to highlight the backdrop.

Flown on the upstage truss, the Maverick Storm 1 Wash fixtures were supplied by Star Design Event Services. “Working with the side light from my floor strips, which were supplied by ASL in Atlanta, they made the backdrop pop.” Hathaway used cue stacks for the band’s standard songs, but busked the rest of the show. For those numbers, he just “went with the flow of the band to create a natural feeling”.
