John Hardham, the creator of the Lightwave Lightshow, combines graphic arts, photography, animation and video into a live, dynamic visual performance. Using computers and video cameras, Hardham crafts a display that reacts in real-time to the music. “Performing with Chrissy is always a thrill,” says Hardham. “This marks our third collaboration, and the Bingen Theater’s intimate setting enhances the connection between performers and audience.” A veteran of iconic tours with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Quicksilver Messenger Service, Hardham has returned to his roots after a successful career as a videographer.
