Understanding an artist's sonic vision is a priority for any front-of-house (FOH) engineer. This involves engaging with the artist, studying their studio work, and being present at rehearsals to faithfully reproduce or enhance the studio sound for live audiences. Sage's expertise is recognized across the music scene, having mixed for multiple Grammy Award-winning artists like Buddy Guy, as well as acclaimed producer and drummer Tom Hambridge. His portfolio boasts performances at iconic venues such as Red Rocks and The Hollywood Bowl.

His experience spans a multitude of musical genres—from Rock, Pop, and Jazz to Blues, Country, Reggae, Jambands, Dance, and Electronic music—working with notables like John Summit, Eric Church, Soulive, Beats Antique, Tycho, among others.

Proficient with both digital and analog equipment, Sage excels in adapting to the unique acoustics and technical setups of various venues, whether it's an outdoor amphitheater, a cozy club, or a sprawling arena. His ability to optimize sound within any space's acoustical constraints is unmatched.

Sage's in-depth knowledge of audio physics, acoustics, electronics, and microphone dynamics is vital for on-the-spot problem-solving.

Accustomed to a broad range of professional PA systems including those from D&B, Meyer Sound, L’Acoustics, Claire Brothers, and JBL, Sage is more than an engineer—he's a mix artist who skillfully accentuates the dynamics of each instrument and voice, enhancing the live sound of your music.
