What I can do for your event

Book just me, or me plus the gear. Either way, one person is responsible for how it sounds.

Live sound engineer

I mix on your venue's system. Bands, worship, theatre, comedy and spoken word.

Sound system + engineer

I bring speakers, subs, monitors, a mixer and mics, set up, run the show and pack out.

Theatre wireless

Headset and lav mics by the production week, with mixing for tech and shows.

Multitrack recording

Every input recorded on its own track, so you can mix or release the show later.

Jim Bodine

Hi, I'm Jim.

For 13 years I ran audio and production at a 1,000-seat church in Fairfield, mixing live bands and broadcast most weeks. Since 2012 I've also freelanced across Connecticut for bands, theatre and events.

I show up early, I come prepared, and I'll know your input list before load-in.
