WELCOME TO THUNDER & LIGHTING CONCERT PRODUCTIONS

If this is your first visit to our website, we would like to welcome you and introduce ourselves. Thunder and Lighting Concert Productions is just what it says, it is a professional concert production company that was started in 1993 to provide promotors of professional concerts sound reinforcement and lighting equipment to assist them in putting on their shows. We also provide all the engineers and technical staff required to work the shows, i.e. out-front sound engineers and technicians, on-stage monitor engineers and technicians, lighting designers and engineers and riggers.

Today, Thunder & Lighting Concert Productions is made up of several smaller companies. We have several Mastering Studios located in several states that handle the studio Mastering of 100's of the top musicians in the business today. We just started our own publshing company and record label in June 2008 and.along with this website we now have the capability of selling CDs and DVDs online and much much more.

For a detailed explanation, click on the ABOUT US tab above and you can read all about the company, how long we have been in business and what we do..

We also invite you to browse around and get familiar with everything on our website especially if you are a musician because I am sure you will be visiting this website often to obtain information on new local, regional and national artists we work with. Who knows, you may be interested in adding your name to our Artists List. For more information, give us a call toll free at 888-535-3261.

We took our old website down and put this one up a couple of months ago but we have been continuously making changes and adding new sofware to make it faster and better looking. All this is coming together because of Brent Deitrich who has done 98% of the work designing this great website. We recently changed our format from Windows to LINUX and it is still under construction at this time. So we ask that you please be patient and everything should be coming together in a few weeks.

WHAT WE CAN DO NOW AND WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT LATER

Our recording facilities (Thunder Recording Studiios) are primaarily used for Mastering audio media and when time permits, doing live remote recording sessions. Mastering audio media is our specialty and we stay busy 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Live recording sessions are another specialty and we get 2 - 3 calls a month from clients asking for this service but because I stay so busy in the Mastering Studio, I do not have time to go out and do many remote live recording sessions as I would like to do. I like doing live remote recording sessions because this gets me out of the studio for a day or two and at times a week or two. I get to meet my musician friends that I have not seen in awhile and this is always a great reunion.

When I am not too busy and get to do remote recordings, we carry either 24, 48, 72 or 96 channel Alesis HD24 recorder(s) that can be setup for either analog or digital format. Our setup time is usually 30-45 minutes maximum. After the recording session, we bring the recorded audio media back to our studios and do a complete mix-down and then it is Mastered in one of our elaborate Mastering Studios. (To learn more about our Mastering Techniques, the equipment used and cost, click on ABOUT US and then click on the LINK at the bottom of the page for more detailed information.

ARTISTS PROFILES: We have already started adding pictures and biographies of local and regional artists we are working with at this time. This should be completed in a few weeks. To see the artists we are currently working with and read their biography,, Click on ARTISTS on the top tab.

BOOKINGS: We have been so busy for the past several months in the Mastering Studios, we have not had time to do any type of music productions. The last production that we did was "Diane Bailey's Live Christmas Show" that she performed at the Garner Historic Auditorium on December 15, 2007. So you see, we have been very busy in our studios. But that is going to change this fall as we are now beginiing to put together some great concerts. So to keep up with what concerts are going to be coming up, Keep logging on to this website and Click on CONCERTS on the above tab.

Even if we are not involved in putting on your concert or show, we will still post it on our website for a maximum of thirty (30) days for a small fee.. This would be great advertising for your event because 1000s of people visit our website weekly.

TICKETS: Our Ticket office is open 24/7 when there is a concert or an event going on that we are either promoting or responsible for selling the tickets. It can be a concert, soccer game or any event where tickets are sold for admission. If you have an event coming up in the near future and you need tickets printed up, give us a call at 888-535-3261. Our Tickert Office can print-out as many tickets that you require and send them to you via USPS, UPS or FEDex.

Our Ticket Office will print all your tickets and for a small fee, we will also sell your tickets for you online. Your customers can purchase tickets to your event directly through us via credit card. It is a proven fact, that more tickets are sold online via credit card than any other way. When we put on a concert, 90% of our ticket sales are done online via credit card and 10% are purchased at the door.

MUSIC TRACKS: If you or your group perform live professionally or just for fun using Karaoke Tracks, which I prefer to call Music Tracks, we have a music databse that contains over two (2) Million songs. The dfference in our music tracks and other providers of music tracks is, we will sell each track as a single meaning you do not have to spend $25 - $30 for a CDG to get one song. We will sell you only the music track(s) you need at $3.00 per track, and If you can find it anywhere else for less, we will sell to you at half their cost. Also, the more music tracks you buy from us at a time, the more you can save. So the next time you or a friend are looking for a music track, or if you need to replace a few of your music tracks, give us a call on our toll free number 888-535-3261.

NOTE: Although our music database consist of millions of songs and tracks, we do not always have the song you are looking for but we will have 99% of them. However, If we do not have the music track you are looking for, we will help you find it and if it is a must that you have this particular track for a special occassion, we can make the track for you. Our music database consists of every genre out at this time from Classic Rock, Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Classic Country, Country, Jazz, RAP, Hip Hop and the lists goes on and on.

We can also take your old albums and cassettes you purchased years ago before CDs were even thought of and convert them to digitally mastered CDs. If you would like to have us make your own personal music CDs using your favorite songs, send us the albums, cassettes or CDs containing the songs, and we will make your personal CD. We will retun your original songs back to you as soon as the project is completed. Why shop around and spend hours looking for the perfect CD with all your favorite songs when we can make it for you. If your CD players, both car and home, supports mp3 format, we can add a 100 songs to one CD. This way you can listen for hours without having to change the CD. We have made many digitally mastered CDs in mp3 format that contained over 100 songs each.

Also, if you have a favorite album that you really like and it is all scratched up and you cannot find it on CD anywhere, give us a call on our toll free number and we will probably have it in our music database or, send us the album(s) and for a small fee, we will make you a digitally mastered copy of the album on CD and remove 98% of the noise made by scratches. After the job is completed, we will send you the CD and return your album(s) to you.

CLIENTS: What I am probably the proudest of is the musicians I have worked with over the past 35 years. I was a professional drummer from 1972 until 1993, at which time I semi-retired and built my own recording studio in San Diego and I have never been busier and having so much fun in my life. I still work with most of these musicians who are some of the most famous musician who ever performed on-stage and I am proud to have been a part that era and I continue to work and talk with them from time-to-time and we are all still friends. To see a list of these musicians I work with, click on CLIENTS on the Menu tab located at the top of this page.
