Prettier in Person will arrive punctually for load in and verify that all technical details are worked out prior to stated start time. They will conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times and defer to the onsite personal for any last minute changes or venue specific instructions.
Prettier in Person was formed in 2008 through a craigslist ad seeking a bassist. Guitar player and lead vocalist Dave Temple and drummer Sam Bertness were starting a new band and found Tim Davin (Bass, backup vocals), and they have played together ever since. Anchored in Fairfax Virginia, they have played all across the area, from Baltimore to Woodbridge, and are always looking for new places and people to bring their music to.
Prettier In Person is able to provide its own system if needed for an additional cost. If a system is provided we require the following equipment:
2 Vocal Microphones
Full drum kit mic'ing (Bass, snare, toms)
1 Guitar feed
1 Bass feed
