I stumbled into the sound tech world at the age of..say 12..when i was given the task of recording sermons at church and otherwise running the powered Peavey mixer in the cabinet in the back of the room. In 2015 I began working as a Production Technician at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech and in 2019 I became part of the Audio-Visual Team at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center. I take th

e experience of every year and every venue into the next. I would like to offer time, skills, and gear to help your next event be a success. Give me a call or email to talk about what, when, and where.

Deaf Andrews last night....now on my short list of awesome bands!

"The New Castle Bunch". Great pickers and good men!

A piece from The Barefoot Movement at The Spot on Kirk last night! Super nice and talented!

Yamaha PX amp rig is complete! I plan to make front mounted input panels for each but this is ready to roll out! Each box can operate seperately or as one system. 4x500W MAX in TOP rack. 4x800W MAX in bottom rack as shown here. For a full stage setup, PX5 rack will be used for my A12M monitors. PX8 rack will be used for C112V Mains and (at this point) Peavey 118 Subs. Flexible routing and onboard DSP in the amps with recallable settings make a passive speaker quite smart.

New Horizon Gospel (Bluegrass For The Soul) clip I took featuring Dennis. Thanks for comin over the mountain!

A clip from from 2023 Craig Prom at Harbor Creek Farms and Venue. They have a awesome venue!

Piece of The Red Ferns covering Hotel California by The Eagles last night The Spot on Kirk.

About Dave...

Hi. I’m Dave,and I believe its gotta sound good to be good and if you can’t see them, there’s a problem.

To the good residents of Craig County, VA, my name is David Givens. I stumbled into the sound technology world at the age of..say 12..when I was given the task of recording sermons at church. That evolved into learning the basics of balancing microphones and knowing where to plug things in. The Spirit moved me to pick up the bass guitar my freshmen year of high school, propelling me into contemporary Christian music (and there fore the gear involved) as worshiper, musician, and soon after, as technician. I then was blessed with with an incredible college experience at Christopher Newport University (2007-2011) where I spent countless hours volunteering as sound tech and musician with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. We loaded in and out everything needed by a 7-piece worship band except the stage and main speakers nearly every Thursday of the school year. Mixing the sound of the worship team through the sound board became a passion. I strove to bring out of the speakers the kind of sound that I would want to hear as crowd member and musician as well as the intended sound from each musician or vocalist. In my upper classmen years I moved into other aspects of our large group event such as projection, lighting, print publications, and general event logistics.

Upon my return to Craig County I found several places to serve. I have helped with musical theater endeavors of the music program at Craig County Public Schools for several years along with audio and lighting needs of the New Castle School of Dance, the Town of New Castle, Club Camp Mitchel, the Craig County Business Association’s Prepper Fest, and the Annual Jesse Carper Memorial & Benefit Concert at the Roanoke Moose Lodge. Along with having done birthdays, .I would like to offer time, skills, and gear to provide for your audio, lighting, and event needs! I believe it must sound good to good, and if you can’t see some one on stage...there’s a problem. Give me a call or email to talk about when, where, and how much. You can see way more than here on my website listed on this page.
