Bruce Jones
Bruce Jones is a SHOWCO alum who spent years behind the console and behind the scenes as FOH Sound Engineer and Systems Engineer. Bruce was with SHOWCO 1982–1994, and his credits reflect exactly what that era demanded: adaptability, precision, and the ability to make it sound right—anywhere, anytime, for anyone. After SHOWCO, he continued on with Clair Bros. (now Clair Global), carrying that same standard into the next chapter.
