This past week, one of our talented musicans and emerging sound engineers, Evan, had the incredible opportunity to shadow and assist with sound at The Stone Pony for JET! 🎤

A huge thank you to Jay Jay Rigby for taking the time to work with Evan, sharing your knowledge, and giving him the opportunity to learn! Experiences like this are so valuable for young creatives as they learn, gain hands-on experience, and explore the many different sides of the music industry.

We truly appreciate the time and support you gave him and the experience you helped create. Opportunities like this are exactly what TPM is all about! 🎧❤️

Thank you for helping us support the next generation of musicians and music professionals!
