“His ability to setup and engineer a live audio performance is quite literally second to none.”

-The Boondock Boys

“We all became instant friends from our very first show together. Reccomend 10/10!.”

“I work as a promoter representative for a large booking agency. I also am a musician in two working bands. I have used AK Productions on many occasions, and exclusively with my bands. AK brings extreme knowledge for all kinds of sound systems, and has a great ear for mixing both front of house and monitors!

They are reliable and professional! I would highly recommend using AK Productions for your next event!”

- Lorenzo Devargas, Promoter, Keyboards (Collective Nation, Crazy Train)

“My band, Millhouse, hired Austin to run sound for a private outdoor party. He arrived early and helped load in which was unexpected but always welcome. He was very professional and knowledgeable.

He was asked to use our equipment and PA system to create and maintain a solid mix. He even took the time to demonstrate certain aspects about our PA system that we were unaware of and was successfully able to troubleshoot when needed.

The crowd was very happy with the overall sound quality which I can imagine was not so easy to obtain because of the challenging space we were asked to perform in. We would highly recommend Austin and AKProductions for your events and gigs!”

-Mac Mcfall, Vocalist (Millhouse)

"I had the pleasure of working with Austin at the Molalla River Summer Jam in 2022. The knowledge and professionalism is on point, and he’s easy to work with. I highly recommend hiring this team for your event, big or small!"

— Trent Beaver, Guitar/Vocals

"My wife and I had the pleasure to use Austin a number of times for our house concerts. We used different bands with different styles of music and personalities. Austin worked great with all of them and the sound with light show accompaniment was fantastic. He was very easy to contact and always prompt."

— Robert Pope, Private Events

“DISCLAIMER: If you’re looking for even the slightest negative comment in this review, you’re come to the wrong place. Austin is just as good as it gets.

I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Austin on many occasions. Everything from small venues to livestream shows to large, annual, ongoing events. He always delivers the goods. Nothing but the absolute best in top notch sound. As a lifelong, working musician you really couldn’t ask for more. His ability to setup and engineer a live audio performance is quite literally second to none. 

Additionally, no testimonial would be complete without including that Austin is also a complete joy to work with. I have worked with him on many large events with many moving parts to them and he always accommodated the unexpected twists and turns with a positive, and solution-driven attitude. You really couldn’t possibly ask for more.

I offer this recommendation with zero hesitation. Every sound person should be so competent and easy to work with.”

-Mike Branch, Guitar (Hellcats, Nightrose)

“Very professional and very easy to get along with. Austin’s knowledge and experience made every show smooth sailing. We all became instant friends from our very first show together. Recommend 10/10!”

- The Boondock Boys

“I am a vocalist in several bands. In each format we consider the sound tech an integral part of the band and it is always a pleasure when Austin Klein of AK Productions is on our team.  

We have been fortunate enough to work with Austin in many different settings. He has provided service for us in small wine bars, medium sized taverns, large stage venues, and several outdoor events. Recently he played a significant role on a production crew that captured the audio-visual material for our full-length online broadcast. He listens when we ask for assistance, and he always delivers what we need. Austin allows us to focus on our craft because we know without a doubt that we can rely on his technical skill at the board. 

In addition to the first-rate sound production he provides at every show, Austin Klein:

•Understands his tools,

•He is attentive,

•He is enthusiastic,

•He is friendly and easy to get along with,

•He is a great listener,

•He is a problem solver,

•He is calm,

•He is willing to adapt,

•He cares about his craft,

•He cares about the venue

 It is clear that Austin cares about the music, the musicians, the audience experience, and the intention of the event. With highest level of confidence I can say that Austin will always deliver your desired outcome.”

-Michele Linn, Vocalist (Night Rose, Midnight & Moonshine)

"I worked with Austin on a live stream show produced during the pandemic. We were worldwide and had a great audience. I was the host and worked directly with Austin who was in charge of all audio functions. We had 3-4 bands a week sometimes. Austin was a true professional and made the production run smoothly. Worked again last summer with him. Again, everything and everyone had a great show!

Thanks Austin!"
