Steve Nider entered the live sound business at sixteen, driving an equipment truck for Black Sheep, the Rochester band fronted by Lou Gramm before Foreigner.
He later joined Silverfish Audio, helping build and tour the company’s early systems for artists including Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Buffett, Jesse Colin Young, Warren Zevon, Emmylou Harris, and Pablo Cruise. Steve shares the story of Silverfish’s rare Ashly consoles, custom-built speaker systems, small touring crews, and the company’s move from Rochester to California before becoming Sound Image.
He also looks back on decades of touring with Foreigner, Jackson Browne, Aerosmith, the B-52s, the Eagles, Joe Walsh, and others.
This episode is a firsthand account of the resourcefulness, relationships, long hours, and unforgettable moments that helped build the modern live sound industry.
