Meet the Owner:
Jeff Dieterle
It all started when Jeff started his own band back in 2001- Total Soul. Jeff, a trombone player at heart, was tired of showing up to gigs where sound engineers knew exactly how to plug in wires but had no idea how to isolate unwanted frequencies or create great mixes for the musicians. When Jeff started his band Total Soul, he hired Charles Johnson, a sound engineer with Kool and the Gang, to show him the ropes. Jeff mentored under Charles and eventually obtained all of his own equipment. The days of annoying monitor feedback and terrible mixes were now a thing of the past :-) Jeff started mixing other bands at outdoor concerts for local agents when his band was not booked. Today, Soul Party Sound has a staff of 6 sound technicians who are all qualified to mix FOH and monitor mixes. The engineers on the SPS staff are all musicians at heart with great ears and deep knowledge of the music business. SPS has multiple vehicles loaded with sound equipment and LED lighting, ready to go at a moment's notice!
