Corona: Chauvet fixtures selected for ‘NY Rock N Roots Festival’ stream

Roger Sharp, the owner of Saratoga Springs, New York-based High Peaks Event Production, has always entertained the idea of putting on a summer festival honoring his region’s music tradition, even starting a Facebook page dedicated to this mission. But keeping up with the demands of his growing business prevented him from getting around to realizing this dream. He finally found the time though after the Covid-19 lockdown put all events on hold.

With his event business halted, Sharp built a lockdown-safe recording studio and stage in his warehouse, and launched a weekly Sunday night livestream, ‘NY Rock N Roots Festival’, to highlight local talent. “Since we can no longer do mass gatherings, we’re focusing on another way of reaching people,” says Sharp. “This isn’t a money-making deal, it’s a way to keep ourselves and bands busy, while providing our community with an entertainment option, all while following strict safety standards.”

Looking to give viewers something as close as possible to a festival experience, Sharp and his wife, LD Christine Sharp, along with their associates Bryan Madarasz and Corey Hayward decided to support each musical act with a full production light show that reflected the music.

Helping Sharp and his team achieve these looks is an all-Chauvet Professional rig that features six Maverick MK2 Wash and two Maverick MK3 Spot fixtures on downstage truss as well as eight Rogue R2X Wash, four Rogue R2 Beams, four Maverick MK1 Spot and four Strike 1 fixtures on upstage pipes of different heights.
