GREENVILLE, Texas — MercyMe, the multiple Dove Award-winning, Grammy-nominated Christian rock band, are currently on tour in support of their latest album, teaming up with fellow guitarists Scheuchzer and Barry Graul onstage using Shure UHF-R wireless.
"We could run around anywhere in the arena," Graul relates, citing one of his favorite aspects of cutting the cord.
"On this tour especially," Scheuchzer adds riffing off of the thought just like an antiphonal exchange shared with Graul onstage. "To be able to keep the crowd behind us entertained and included in the show…I mean I just couldn't have done it on a wire. I'd have needed a 50-foot cable, but then my guitar tone's gone. It's been so freeing to just be able to run around."
"And on the technical side, we can retain our guitar tone with these Shure wireless units," Graul points out.
With touring plans laid out before them all the way until June 2009, MercyMe will stay on the road playing in churches, auditoriums, performing arts centers and even on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
