Today’s the BIG day at Sweetwater where GearFest 2015 crowds are expected to swamp the place, all checking out the music gear of nearly 400 vendors, meet some of their favorite recording artists, learn about audio techniques from world experts and just to be part of the largest private music gear show on the planet – that said, let me assure you that Sweetwater opens the event to the public.

As the sun began to set, we walked through the back lot of Sweetwater to get a glimpse of what’s on-hand for tomorrow’s GearFest 2015, where thousands of musicians and music enthusiasts will converge to indulge themselves with a look at some of the world’s finest guitars, amplifiers, recording gear, drums, audio electronics, keyboards, special effects pedals, educational seminars, as they tour the Sweetwater campus.
