Jeff Davis has spent several decades behind the scenes in the world of theater.
He has built sets, designed lighting set-ups, run sound systems and managed production crews. In short, he has handled the hundreds of elements that go into a successful stage performance, including those at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
This summer, he’s going international as lighting operator for the concert tour of Alison Krauss, a Grammy-winning country-bluegrass singer and musician, and Robert Plant, former lead singer in Led Zeppelin.
