James Kananen
Drawing from his experience at the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences and a background deeply rooted in music and the arts; James currently works at the Grog Shop as a live sound engineer. With literally thousands of hours operating a mixing board mixing international touring acts and locals alike, James draws parallels between his job and the equipment he operates. “The artist is the painter, I am the brush…I strive to capture the vision of the sound in the only way I know how, honestly, with attention to detail, ruthlessly defending the perspective of the performer.”
