Today we talk with Afton Gerring, the Lighting Designer for Dashboard Confessional, to explore how she brings atmosphere, mood, and emotion to life through lighting design. From intimate acoustic moments to soaring full-band anthems, Afton uses light as a storytelling tool, shaping the audience’s experience with every cue.
We dive into her creative process, how she designs a show that complements the band’s emotional music, the gear and consoles she relies on, and the challenges of touring with a band whose songs span quiet ballads to explosive rock tracks. Afton also shares her journey into live production, what inspires her designs, and the behind-the-scenes realities of being a lighting designer on tour.
Whether you’re a lighting professional, a touring crew member, or a Dashboard Confessional fan who wants to see how their shows transform into unforgettable experiences, this conversation shines a light (literally) on one of the most creative roles in live music.
