Hear & Now

Hear & Now Monterey (H&N) was established in 2020 in collaboration with local Monterey musicians Razz and Chelsea Riddle, Audio Engineer Kevin Proctor, and Videography Director Grant Kinsey. H&N was delivered into an era of live streaming and digital entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering the decline of local Monterey musician gig work, H&N provided an online platform for musicians to stay engaged with the community and expand audiences with the best video and audio equipment available. After a successful 25 weekly ‘Hear & Now presents’ virtual concert series, the team became a highly sought production provider to local performing arts and non-profit organizations to live stream concerts and virtual conferences. Following the vision of growing the company, Hear & Now has now evolved into a full-service production company offering labor support/technical services alongside audio, lighting, and video equipment rental. As events began to pick up and restrictions lifted, H&N faced the wave of event needs by offering and representing specialized design/admin services, technical talent, and a labor force ready to keep up with the demand. Alongside a growing inventory of professional audio/lighting/video/AV equipment at our Ryan Ranch warehouse, H&N proudly serves as a live event production partner to many local businesses, non-profits, hotels, performing arts organizations, and many more. We aim to elevate production quality with our talent and tools to enhance your next event and deliver a memorable experience for your guests and patrons.
