Husband and wife, guitar-master Derek Trucks and singer-songwriter Susan Tedeschi, performed two show in Florida at the close of 2010. Sholight provided lighting and scenic design for the couples new band. The first show was performed on December 29th at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida. The second performance took place on New Years Eve at the Florida Theater in the couples home town of Jacksonville. Sholight's Tyler Littman designed a set and lighting rig that tastefully complimented the bands sound. Both the rig and the set were about simplicity and diversity. Tyler used a series of simple "theatrical" techniques to help achieve the goal of the project. The end result was well received by both the band and the audience. Sholight sends special thanks to Account Rep Brian Yoham and LMG, Inc in Orlando for providing both additional lighting and control for both events. Dec 1, 2010 Sholight is happy to announce the return of its Principal Designer, Tyler E. Littman, after a six long months of successful touring with internationally renown pop-music sensation, The Jonas Brothers. Tyler begin the summer tour as the Lighting Director for the tours designer John LaBriola. Due to John's ongoing successes and continued growth, it was a logical step to look for a successor for the role he held for nearly four years. With the full support of Sholight behind him, Tyler took over not only the role of lighting director for the Jonas's summer tour but also acted as designer for the two month run in South America.

Feb 1, 2010 Although still under construction, Sholight launches a newly redesigned website. Quoting Tyler Littman, Sholight's owner, "This is something long over due. For years I designed the site using outdated techniques which made it much harder to keep it updated. In fact for the most part we only did an updated every year or so." Sholight's new site will allow for fast and easy updating as well as integration with social networking and news feeds through Facebook and Twitter. Coupled with Sholight's use of Google Apps Premier Edition and a new VOIP based phone system the company can communicate with its clients with great ease. "We've always tried to be early adopters of new technologies", says Littman, "I will admit we slipped a little with the old website but now we are trying to make up for. I hope everyone enjoys this more modern, up-to-date look." Keep an on this page for news more changes to the site.
