ONE PROFESSIONAL, OUTDOOR STAGE: The Erie Art Museum's Blues & Jazz Festival is presented on one professional outdoor stage.  Musicians are technically supported by Raven Sound, a team of professional sound, lighting and staging engineers.  Raven Sound has been supporting the Festival for 17 years. 

"They are reliable, go-above-the-call-of-duty professionals.  As the Festival's technical support needs have grown, Raven has adapted and improved the Festival's presentation," said Tammy Roche, Festival producer. To learn more about Raven Sound, click here.
