It’s been said you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but you CAN make a renowned music hall out of a Lions Club. Bill Smith the visionary, designer, builder and owner of Fort Worth’s newest music hall has done just that. The historic south side Lions Club sat vacant for many years. Bill Smith’s vision was to create an intimate music hall and lounge in which musicians would want to play because of the exceptional acoustical performance.

“Bill called on Electro Acoustics to design a music hall with a sound system and acoustical performance better than any intimate music hall in the area. By migrating noise, shaping walls and designing custom acoustical treatments, the Electro Acoustics team tamed this great beast. Installing a state-of-the-art Midas digital mixing console and Meyer speaker system, this Lion roars louder than ever.”

And the musicians? The guest book is filled with compliments on the sound and what a wonderful experience it was to play at The Live Oak!
