155: JIMMY PETTINATO/Production Manager/Trans-Siberian Orchestra, No Doubt, Goo Goo Dolls

  Jimmy Pettinato is a veteran Production Manager based in his hometown of Scranton, PA. In spite of his long resume marked by some of the biggest names in the music business, Jimmy has never strayed far from his family's hard-working, no-nonsense, Italian-American roots. Born into a legacy of carpenters, day laborers, and mechanics, Jimmy's career choices seemed predetermined. However, once he discovered he had a knack for lighting design, it was only a matter of time before a life on the road would change his fortunes for good. After several years as both Lighting Designer and Production Manager, Jimmy ultimately made the switch to focus solely on being the best Production Manger he could, and through his career he has worked with the likes of Trans Siberian Orchestra, No Doubt, Spin Doctors, PINK, New Kids On the Block, Backstreet Boys, Goo Goo Dolls, and many, many more. Sharing the ride with Jimmy is his wife, FOH Engineer Michelle Pettinato. Today's episode is sponsored by Boulevardcarroll.com, showprobeardco.com, and Stagehandsclothing.com.
