| “Mike is the consummate professional and he's second to none. It's always a huge relief to know that Mike is involved in a project. He's thorough, efficient, works tirelessly and makes everyone else's job THAT much easier. He's the first one there and the last one to leave. When you step into Mike's world and watch him work a live show, nothing goes wrong. He's focused, knows each venue and it's limitations and anticipates the unexpected. Day after day, show after show, tour after tour. There is no second call. If Mike's not available to do a project, you will need to hire two very talented and experienced people to even come close. He gets my highest recommendation and respect.”

Kevin Guarnieri, Recording Engineer, Randy Jackson/Mariah Carey |
“Mike McKnight, is, truly, a master craftsman in his field. He is an innovator and leader in the art of live concert performance / tour support. As an accomplished and talented musician and computer audio programmer, Michael brings nothing less than his best to every show and tour he is involved in. He is one of THE MOST (extremely) professional and highly skilled people I know in the music business. I have done many live shows with Mike and I am ALWAYS impressed with his focus, his attention to detail, his ability and his skill in handling what absolutely has to be one of THE hottest and most demanding seats to sit in during a live show. Mike’s job is one of immense responsibility. Mike always comes through with flying colors. Mike is a strong team player and is highly respected in the music industry. I am always relieved to know that Michael is going to be a part of the show. I know with his support, the show is going be a success.”

| “Mike has always been an innovator in this particular field. Many of us in the business would not have the opportunity to work if Mike had not been there to invent and prove the position, in technical practice as well as in hardware that has been made and modified for the particular need. Always patient and willing to share his knowledge and expertise, Mike is a strong team player and a truly committed individual.”
