I created this website to educate music lovers about SHOWCO as a company, as well as the collection of extraordinary people who made it legendary. This is also a space for SHOWCO alumni to come together and share their memories, archives, accomplishments and more.
I started out with wanting to tell the story of my father, Donnie Kretzschmar, a legendary sound engineer for SHOWCO and a survivor of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash. While archiving his ephemera I realized the story is much bigger than just my father." Not wanting SHOWCO, my fathers legacy, or his colleagues to remain unknown, I have asked the SHOWCO alumni to share their stories, photographs, and ephemera with me, so I can provide an ongoing, living tribute to their contributions to the world of live performance.
Showco.co is a labor of love designed to create archives for our family, the people that make it happen! I hope to capture the legacy of SHOWCO for future generations who love live music and want to be part of the ever-changing technology of every aspect that makes a great concert.
