BURNSVILLE, MN — Featuring over 25 artists, the Hotel Café Tour 2006 visits 35 cities between October 2nd and November 18th, and the bill includes Columbia Recording artist Joshua Radin, along with Jim Bianco, Cary Brothers (tour organizers), Joe Purdy, Matt Costa, Jessie Baylin and Rachael Yamagata. Special guests along the way have included Jason Mraz and Amos Lee. For the tour, manager & FOH engineer Sean Peel is using EV mics across the board, from the RE510 to the EV/Blue Cardinal on guitar cabs.
Peel gave a road report of what mics he's using for the tour: "On drums I'm using the N/D868. Instead of using my usual Cobalt Co4 and N/D478 on snare, I'm using two N/D468s–one on top, one on bottom. As always, I have the big sound of 468s on the toms.
"I'm running RE200s on the hi-hat and overhead," Peel continued, "–so crisp and true–a little mic that delivers large performance. On the bass cabinet I've been getting great results with the EV/Blue Raven, a newer addition to my mic case. On the vocals the RE510 continues to impress me."
