GRAHAM ROLAK

 “I enjoy working with the artist to incorporate what they like into my show designs. If they are happy onstage and feel energized, it just gives to the show. I love the challenge of working in the logistical minefields of show production. Limits on budget, truck or stage space inspire me to create a larger vision in those parameters. ‘Coloring in the lines’ tests creativity. For multiple nights in one city, I focus on how to make each show different. It may involve new focuses, trim heights or programming different bumps, accents and colors for songs they think they know.”
