Allen Deneau

Joining Bandit's team in 2023, Allen's path to becoming a client rep at Bandit may seem a bit unconventional compared to others.

After earning a BA in Business in 1992, he worked in retail management for five years, intentionally avoiding the entertainment industry despite growing up around music. His dad played music, and his parents owned one of the first Karaoke clubs in Chicagoland. In 1998, Allen started his own company serving events from Fortune 500 companies to private clients.

After moving to Tennessee in 2011, he began freelancing for audio and lighting companies, transitioning from audio to lighting for more creative opportunities. Allen initially avoided touring to stay home with family but later sought consistent work with the same acts. He toured with national cheerleading competitions, served as house LD at Marathon Music Works, and worked as LD and Crew Chief for events like Live on the Green and Vanderbilt’s Rites of Spring. In 2018, Allen became full-time LD for Diamond Rio, which gave him the consistency he wanted. After personal events and a desire to spend more time with family, Allen applied to Bandit in 2022. After meeting with Jake Tickle and Michael Strickland, he accepted a client rep position and officially joined on January 3, 2023, and plans to stay with Bandit Lites until retirement.

Outside of work, you will likely find him boating with his wife. He jokes that he only works to be able to boat. What Allen enjoys most as a client rep is building relationships, helping clients put on great shows, and balancing multiple projects at once.

Mark joined Bandit Lites in 2016 and quickly became a versatile and trusted member of the team.

His first tour with Bandit was with OAR as a dimmer tech, and since then he has held roles on high-profile tours including Tech for Chris Young, dimmer tech for Carrie Underwood, crew chief for Shinedown, and lighting designer for Maren Morris. Through these experiences, Mark gained a deep understanding of both the technical and creative aspects of live production before transitioning into his current role as a Client Representative.

What Mark values most about his work is witnessing how Bandit Lites’ efforts bring people together. He takes pride in the lasting relationships built with clients and the powerful impact each production has on audiences. “I’m proud to be part of a team that transforms complex ideas into seamless, inspiring productions,” he shares.

In 2011, Ty moved to Nashville, TN to join Bandit Lites, beginning an exciting career in live entertainment.

Starting as a freelance technician in September of that year, he quickly gained hands-on experience and built a reputation for reliability and skill. By June 2014, Ty was promoted to a full-time position, and later that year stepped into his first leadership role as crew chief on Miranda Lambert’s “Platinum” tour. Over the next several years, he continued to expand his expertise, serving as crew chief for Shinedown’s 2016 “Carnival of Madness” tour and as board operator for Chevelle in 2017. In 2021, he took on the combined role of designer, programmer, and operator for Breaking Benjamin, merging technical precision with creative vision.

In 2024, Ty transitioned from touring to become a client representative for Bandit Lites, continuing to support artists and productions from behind the scenes. He values Bandit’s unmatched home team support, which he describes as second to none.

Diz joined Bandit in 1993 after they bought the US operation of Meteorlites that he had been with for 14 years and running the US office for 9 years in Maryland.

He toured extensively in the 80’s with the likes of Phil Collins, AC/DC, Paul Simon and Iron Maiden and it was on one of those tours that he first met Mike Strickland on tour with Blackfoot. Diz was also involved in the 80’s with the design & development of many key touring components such as the Thomas Pre Rig truss and ground support towers.

At Bandit in Nashville he was a client rep & general manager mainly focused on streamlining tour preps, and upscaling for Mike Stricklands goal of dramatically increasing touring shows. After moving to Sonoma County just north of San Francisco in the late 90’s his hands on warehouse role morphed into much more computer orientated advance work mode for designs, engineering solutions and final prep. Still a client rep, his Vice President role includes deep consultation with designers and production managers and project managers inside Bandit on streamlining our involvement in productions.
