TRANSCRIPT
Chris Reynolds is one of the most accomplished and experienced Production Managers in the concert touring industry today. He has worked with many of the top-‐grossing and most respected Artists in the world, including, in the last few years, Drake, Jennifer Lopez, and Prince. Chris started out in this business in the 1970s as a backline and audio technician, graduating to monitor engineer, then FOH engineer, first with Manfred Mann’s Earthsound company, then with a rental company he set up in conjunction with Epic Records’ recording Artists The Only Ones. For several years he serviced and ran the rental PA equipment, touring with most of the major New Wave Artists of the 70s, mixing FOH for many of them, while at the same time fulfilling both live and studio commitments as engineer and tour manager with The Only Ones. In 1979, Chris started work with London, UK based promoter Alec Leslie as touring Production Manager, working with some of the most successful Artists of the era: Earth Wind and Fire, Toto, Prince, Billy Joel, Luther Vandross, to name but a few. At the same time he was occasionally freelancing as Stage, Tour or Production Manager with several other major Artists, and eventually these commitments overtook his work with Alec Leslie Entertainment. Since then he has worked solely in a freelance capacity, either as Production, Tour, or Stage Manager. Chris Reynolds’ talents lie primarily in his ability to organize a great team in a business that demands the most from its participants. His problem-‐solving abilities are second-‐to-‐none, and he consistently sees a clear path to ensuring a successful outcome in any given situation. He knows the touring business like few others, he has valuable contacts around the world, having toured in almost every territory that has hosted concerts and events, often many times. His knowledge of global logistics is exhaustive. He is a good communicator and speaks English and French fluently, with very good German, and a smattering of a few other languages. Chris Reynolds has long experience in putting together productions for top acts, which endeavors have included everything from initial budgeting, hiring personnel and vendors, advancing the tour productions worldwide, and ensuring the smooth operation of the tour on the ground. He has often collaborated in varying degrees on production and stage design, and these design credits are many, including such as Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Scorpions, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, M People, Marilyn Manson, J Lo, Drake, and Prince. Chris has sometimes diverted from the more “Rock and Roll” side of touring, and has worked on the Turin Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies, the Stadium Production of Puccini’s opera “Turandot” in 2005, under Oscar-nominated Director Zheng Limou, and the US Production of the Arena horse show “Apassionata” with Broadway Director Scott Faris. No event is too complex, and Chris will always bring it in on time and on budget.
