How We Got Loud

Today I’m talking with David Morgan, currently the FOH Engineer for James Taylor, Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac. David is one of the humblest people I have met with a resume that’s multiple pages deep with artist like Paul Simon, Whitney Houston, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers and so many more. He has also been nominated multiple times and won a Parnelli award and the TEC Foundation Award.

David loves looking at the faces of people as they walk out of a show, and getting instant feedback of the connection that was just made between artist and the audience. 

“I live from on the rush of live shows, that’s what keeps me in it, that’s what keeps me getting up the next day, it keeps me improving the quality of mixes, it keeps me learning new things…. It’s all about the love!” - David Morgan
