When phenomenally successful R&B star, Usher, embarked on his latest tour - The UR Experience - he replied on the cream of production providers. Kicking off in Montreal, Canada, in November 2014 and ending at the O2, London, in March, it spanned the glove, visiting various continents and thrilling fans the world over. During its final leg in Europe, TPi's Kelly Murray visited the crew to talk tech talent and creative vision.
The UR Experience's touring team is led by industry veteran and Production Manager, Harold Jones [Beyonce, Destiny's Child] and new addition, Tour Manager, Vizion Jones. Facilitated by an abundance of top service providers and promoted by Live Nation, the show itself is another stunning visual creation from the Silent House crew, namely Baz Halpin and Chris Nyfield. The design is brought to life by Lighting Designer Eric Wade, who has toured with Usher for 15 years now. At the helm of the tour's lighting operations as it travels across the world, Wade is still very excited by the tour, five months after it began.
