James Butera chooses Clair Global for Halsey tours

James Butera has chosen Clair Global and multiple Clair brands for audio rental and support many times during his career as both an FOH Engineer and Production Manager, and in his most recent outing with pop star Halsey, he’s working with the group once again.

Butera relishes creating live mixes for the multi-award-winning singer, who has just toured the US before her Euro festival appearances next month. Over the last few years of his career development, he has also seen first-hand the evolution of Clair Global’s worldwide network.

“I’m constantly prepping out of the UK Hub (home to Britannia Row Productions, Skan PA Hire, Eighth Day Sound, and Plus 4 Audio), and I’ve done many rehearsals at BBM Clair in Germany”, he says. “Stuart Wright, who helped to establish the Clair KSA location, has saved me when I’ve had a last-minute show booked in Riyadh, and I’ve even used the JPJ Audio team in Australia.”

“I’ve been fortunate to work with most of the Clair offices in both the States and abroad - their support around the world has been huge for me”, he continues. “The input, experience and culture from different offices has really formed this new and amazing thing. It’s a great feeling to work with the company, whether I’m a production manager or an engineer on a tour.”

Butera’s pre-tour visits to Clair Clobal’s HQ in Lititz, Pennsylvania, involved strategizing for his rig, which included new Cohesion products on their very first tour outing. “Watching the Cohesion engineering and the Clair operations teams make sure we felt taken care of was amazing”, he says. “It’s not like we’re a giant stadium tour, but they treated us like we were.”

Halsey’s next live shows will be in August 2025 at Festival Park Yenikapi in Istanbul, Turkey, and Zurich Openair, Switzerland.
