EU/UK 2026: Beyond honored to continue my work with Alex this year. This leg of the tour came with a lot of unique challenges, but our incredible audio crew met them with patience and professionalism. Couldn’t ask for a better team to share a bus and underworld (The Crypt™️) with. Looking forward to whatever the rest of the year has to throw at us.
📷: Too many to tag, you know who you are and I thank you!
Fresh build for @iamchrisyoung with a ~24 hour turnaround time right before tour rehearsals. Super slick and lightweight thanks to the new Helix Stadium from Line 6 and the Creation Aero board. Will fit neatly in a foamed out Pelican 1615. Both the El Capistan and Cali76 Stacked are in the loops of the Helix, the former in full stereo. All connections were given plenty of slack and mounted to allow for on-the-road servicing. Had a lot fun with this one!
I’m bad at taking photos on tour that aren’t of the gear.
This tour was a really fun challenge, pushing me in new and interesting ways; forever a student, always a work in progress. Made so many new friends, let’s do it again?
Another tour wrapping up this weekend. Shows: mixed, great food: consumed, friends: made.
Grateful for the best audio crew in the biz, made up of some legendary engineers and techs. It’s been a pleasure crawling through the trenches with you. And a special thank you to @jgelfond1 for being the best PM we could have asked for in this season, your experience and trust have meant so much to me, I’m sure we’ll cross paths again soon.
Happy to reveal my first official “product”: the DB37 GPI HUB. Allows you to take full advantage of the GPI section of any DB37 equipped DiGiCo mixing console (all current consoles minus the Q225, SD8, SD9, and SD11) for expanded macro use. The idea is to put the unit in whatever rack you I/O occupies and patch lines from your stage snakes into the back of the unit, allowing a Boss FS-6 footswitch to handle two GPI functions down a single XLR line as far downstream as you need. From there you patch in any generic DB37 cable from the unit into your console and you’re off!
Third slide is the first unit out in the wild with @michaelleckrone of @turnpiketroubadours . Building these to order now, with a 6-8 week lead time (fluctuating due to my touring schedule).

Forever.
Having so many friends and family, many of whom traveled so far, come to celebrate Morgan and my special day means more to me than I could ever put into words. We love you all so dearly!
Here’s to forever, @morganrbraz

Time for a late 2024 recap. As always, gigs were slung and ramen was consumed. This time bigger gigs and better ramen. Thankful for this life and my friends that got me where I am. And of course that I get to spend it with @morganrcombs , a constant source of encouragement that pushes me to do it bigger and better every year.
This legendary audio crew helped wrap up our run of stadium shows this week. Gear and mixing are cool or whatever, but these people are cooler.
Thank you Chris for being the best tech I could ever ask for and for putting up with my BS and OCD every day, you’re a gem.
Swipe to the end to see David and I on our first gig together almost 7 years ago, time flies.
See you down unda.
