LOS ANGELES, CA, September 16, 2014 — On Saturday, September 27 (10am-4:00pm), the Berry Hill neighborhood of Nashville will be the place to be if you have anything to do with professional audio, home recording or simply making music. Gear Expo 2014 – a creation of Pensado’s Place, the acclaimed weekly educational web series, in conjunction with Vintage King Audio, a leader in professional audio sales, studio consulting, and comprehensive gear servicing – is the second annual event, affectionately known as “Nashville’s Pro Audio Block Party.” Simply put, Gear Expo 2014 is one of the biggest gear and music-making expos in America. Attendees will once again be able to demo gear, talk directly with manufacturer reps, watch live interviews, mingle with celebrity guests, ride the Gear Expo tour bus, win prizes, enjoy local food trucks and meet Dave Pensado and Herb Trawick of Pensado's Place.

“Once again, Dave and I, along with Vintage King, are raising the bar and bringing to Nashville the biggest, blow-the-doors-off, pro audio block party that Music City has ever seen,” stated Herb Trawick, Gear Expo Executive Producer and Co-host/Executive Producer/Creator of Pensado’s Place. “Of course we could not hold such an event without the help and support of our loyal sponsors, each of which is a leader in their field, and together we are going to have a blast while providing hands-on educational information and demonstrations that you cannot find any where else.”

The celebration will have in attendance special guests, including John McBride (Martina McBride, Blackbird), Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits), Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers), Chuck Ainlay (Miranda Lambert, George Strait, Mark Knopfler), Kuk Harrell (Rihanna, Beyoncé), Leslie Braithwaite (Pharrell Williams, Jay Z), Justin Niebank (Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow), Vance Powell (Jack White, Beck) and many more.

The official “Pensado/Vintage King Gear Expo Tour Bus” will be taking visitors back and forth to the legendary Blackbird Studio all day long. As one of Vintage King's biggest supporters, Blackbird has hosted historic sessions with artists such as Neil Young, the White Stripes, Bruce Springsteen and more. Giving guests another opportunity to check out new and vintage gear hard at work, partygoers will be able to see John and Martina McBride's studio in all its glory.
