For CeeLo Green’s Tour, Art Merriweather Relies on Allen & Heath’s dLive

DETROIT, MI – CeeLo Green recently completed an 11-city “Love Train” tour in support of his Nov. 2015 album release, Heart Blanche. Art Merriweather, CeeLo’s FOH and Monitor Engineer (pictured here) used an Allen & Heath dLive system for control. While smaller in scale than CeeLo’s previous treks – the artist toured with just a sax and flute player, a percussionist and a DJ, instead of a full acoustic orchestra – the simplicity of CeeLo’s stage masked a complex production, with music ranging from hip-hop to jazz. Merriweather’s audio setup included an Allen & Heath dLive S5000 mixer and DM48 MixRack.
