It's that time again!!! That magical point of the year when gear creators, music makers and audio fans come together for a celebration of all that is holy in analog and digital. You guessed it! We've once again teamed up with Pensado's Place for our third annual, day-long extravaganza,
Gear Expo 2015.
Taking place at Vintage King Nashville on September 26th, Gear Expo 2015 brings the spirit of a rocking block party to the Berry Hill District by offering up an incredible array of pro audio talk, demos and beyond. The Pensado's Place crew will be front and center, as the show's hosts Dave Pensado and Herb Trawick lead multiple panels on a variety of topics including creating better audio, gear and marketing strategies.
