Keith Hoagland sets stage for Lainey Wilson with Chauvet

American country singer/songwriter Lainey Wilson played her first arena show in 2021 as she opened for Jason Aldean on his “Back In The Saddle” tour. Ensuring that Wilson was supported by full production looks when the tour stopped at the Park MGM in Las Vegas was Aldean’s lighting designer Keith Hoagland.

Designing and programming Wilson’s show, Hoagland reflected her stage persona with a show marked by fast pan and tilt movements, dynamic aerial effects and dramatic side lighting. Helping him deliver these looks was a collection of eighteen Chauvet Professional Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures supplied by Bandit Lites.

Hoagland, who also used Chauvet Professional Maverick fixtures on the Aldean tour, used the Rogue R1-FXB to give Wilson’s show a distinct personality, often directing their independently controlled five moving heads in different directions to change the visual aura on stage.

In addition to providing the requisite eye candy, the Rogue R1 FX-Bs framed the stage and added an extra level of warmth to it, being arranged around Wilson and her band mates. Positioned at different heights on pipe and base, the linear fixtures also endowed the stage with a greater sense of depth, something that balanced the high trim at the venue.
