Chris and I traveled the country producing "Billy Taylor Jazz" for National Public Radio. This event required terrific technical chops and deep experience. We faced real danger at each gig—strange venues, multi-track recording trucks, bizarre house and power systems, difficult load-ins, union regulations and hostility—no problem with Chris on the gig. His cooperative, candid, quality expertise has always guaranteed success. His savvy knowledge of the business, from hardware to performance, makes him my only choice.

Who We Are
Chris Anderson
Chris Anderson is a graduate of Lebanon Valley College. As an audio engineer and sound designer Chris has spent the past decade providing performance audio systems and engineering for concert, corporate, theatrical, and broadcast events. Some of the highlights of his career include Broadway musicals world tours and education programs for The Kennedy Center for Performing arts. He has traveled extensively with jazz legend and educator Dr. Billy Taylor. Other high profile clients include: ABC, Fandango Productions, Foo Fighters, Hispanic Heritage Awards, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, MTV, National Public Radio, NBC, NBC Sports, NY Jets, Ramsey Lewis, and VH1, to name a few. Several PBS specials that Chris has worked on have taken him from the East Room of The White House in Washington, DC to the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, Romania. Chris toured with the original Spirit show in 1999 after which he expanded his repertoire to include corporate shows and began working for and collaborating with Image Technologies Corporation (ITC). Chris was instrumental in bringing together Peter Buffet and ITC for the 2004/2005 tour of Spirit The Seventh Fire.
In Performance at the White House marked the first time Chris worked professionally with his uncle Jim Anderson (Jim was Chris’ inspiration to get into the business), a prominent recording engineer and producer based in New York City and president of the Audio Engineering Society (AES).
Chris once said, “A bad day doing audio is better than a good day doing any other job.” a statement that illustrates his passion for the craft. “I love the immediacy of the work. You have one chance to get it right, you are live in front of a theater, stadium, or television audience and you had better be on top of your game. It's the challenge of these experiences that keeps me interested every day in my professional life.”
