CHRIS CURTIS
FOH ENGINEER
Southern California native Christ Curtis has a long in musical production. Christ became interested in music as a preteen; he learned to to play drums and started touring with bands as soon as he could drive.
Curtis’ talent for mixing sound led him to become a sound engineer in the late 1980s. He founded his own recording studio, Pacific Coast Recording, in 1990 in Long Beach, California. His client list included Eddie Money, War, Edgar Winter, Snoop Dogg, Keith Emerson, and Jenni & Lupe Rivera (where he earned gold and platinum recognition for his work). His audio engineering talents also crossed into the multimedia world where he recorded and edited audio for movies and commercials that included the talents of Carol Burnett, Barbara Eden, and Gary Sandy, while working with companies like Burger King, Disney, Carl’s Jr., Mendelsohn/Zien, Yamaha, Marvel films, and most Los Angeles radio stations.
After 14 successful years at his recording studio, Curtis decided to return to live sound engineering. Introduced to Dave by long time friend and keyboardist Bill Mason, Curtis has been with the Mason team since 2003. When not on tour, Curtis continues to produce and engineer in his studio and enjoys sharpening his knowledge of U.S. history just for fun.
