Technical Requirements
Introduction
The purpose of this technical rider is to help us all provide the best performance
situation possible. We are an improvisational band with an easy-going and joyful
vibe. Our music is not excessively loud, and we intend the audience to hear
every part clearly and without distortion. Lights should be tasteful and not flashy.
We travel with our sound engineer who, for an extra fee, can bring a sound
system sufficient for all but the most demanding concerts and festivals. The lead
engineer is David Muddiman, who can work with any audio gear that he
determines is good enough for the situation, contact him to co-ordinate what is
going to be at your event. We sometimes have Lighting Designers, Steve and/or
Tommy. Dan is band leader, percussionist Jacob manages band finances.

We want every show we do to be the best it possibly can. We look forward to making
your event special for everyone as well as smooth and pleasant for everyone involved in
the planning. Many shows are different. Some are busy restaurants, some are large
outdoor fields, sometimes we are the headliner, sometimes we humbly open for very
important people. This document attempts to describe what we would like, but each
event is unique so please call (Dan for band or Dave for production) about each of your
questions or concerns before the event.
Billing
In all advertising and publicity, refer to the band as “Mysterytrain”. Please note that
“Mysterytrain” is spelled as one single word. Be aware spelling correction on your
computer may change what you type into two words.
