Sound, Lighting & Backline for Pistol Blonde in Vail
Full production — sound, lighting, backline, staging, and audio engineering — for LA-based band Pistol Blonde's mountainside performance in Vail, Colorado.
Colorado Live Events provided full production for LA-based band Pistol Blonde's live performance at a private mountainside event in Vail, Colorado — sound, lighting, backline, staging, and audio engineering, all set against the backdrop of the Gore Range.
We brought practically everything the band needed to walk in, soundcheck, and play: a complete backline, full PA and monitoring, and microphones for drums, instruments, and vocals — ready before the band arrived and running clean from soundcheck through the final song.

A Full Backline, Stage-Ready
Pistol Blonde flew in without their own gear, so Colorado Live Events supplied a complete backline: Marshall and VOX amplification for guitar, an Ampeg bass cabinet, a Nord Stage 3 for keys, and a full drum kit — all staged and tested before the band arrived for soundcheck.
That let the band walk straight onto a mountainside stage with a view of the Gore Range and start playing.
Lighting That Carried Into the Night
As the show moved from golden-hour sunset into full dark, the truss-mounted moving heads carried the performance — saturated color washes and beams that turned the mountainside stage into a full concert environment.
A dedicated audio engineer ran the mix live throughout, keeping vocals, backline, and monitors balanced as the band played.
Challenge, Solution, and Result
01 — THE CHALLENGE
A Touring Band, No Gear of Their Own
Pistol Blonde flew in from Los Angeles for a private mountainside event in Vail, meaning every piece of backline, sound, lighting, and staging had to be sourced, built, and ready before soundcheck.
02 — OUR SOLUTION
Full Production, Start to Finish
Colorado Live Events supplied the complete backline, PA and monitoring, full drum and instrument miking, wireless vocals, staging, and moving-light production, with a dedicated engineer running the show live.
03 — THE RESULT
A Concert in the Mountains
Pistol Blonde played a full concert-level show on a mountainside stage in Vail, with clean sound and dynamic lighting that carried the performance from sunset into night.

Jack and his team at Colorado Live Events are truly outstanding! He supported our 7 person band at a Country Club event by developing our needs for sound, lighting, equipment for the gig so everything went smoothly and flawlessly. He is not only a very detailed and accomplished sound engineer, but also a great person to work with...you will not go wrong and using this company.

We used Jack at Colorado Live Events for our celebration and he was amazing to work with. The LED screen made the event pop and his team also provided sound, a/v and tech support for the whole evening. I cannot say enough good things about how easy to work with and kind they all were! 10 out of 10 would use them again!

I had the opportunity to work with Jack and his team at Colorado Live Events for a conference event in Denver for a client of mine and I can only say that he is the most dependable and professional guy one can trust all event requirements. My client was super happy and to enhance my client experience, Jack even went out of his way to assist me in printing roll up banners for the event and even did venue meetings on my behalf as I was remotely doing the event sitting out of India. I was updated real time about the development of the setup and during the event.., so all in all had a great experience with Jack. Anyone can blindly trust them for their work.., most professional team I came across in recent time. Thanks Jack for all the support. Take care
