The GIG USA Launches THE GIG LIVE! Video On Demand & Streaming Channel
The GIG USA. LLC Announces The Launch Of Its Video On Demand (VOD) & Streaming Channel The GIG LIVE!
ASBURY PARK, NJ... The GIG USA, LLC has launched THE GIG LIVE! their Video On Demand (VOD) and live streaming channel (www.thegiglive.com). The GIG USA burst onto the Asbury Park music scene in late February of 2023 with a live concert performance at the House Of Independents. The event was sold-out and it hosted "Hey, I'm From Freehold Too!" - An Evening With Eddie Testa And His Band, featuring local favorite songwriter and band leader Eddie Testa and his renowned fellow musicians that make up The Eddie Testa Band, along with a few notable additions to his usual stellar lineup. That event was recorded with five 4K cameras and the audio from each microphone and instrument was also captured during the performance.
"The event itself was the first part of what The GIG LIVE! is all about, producing live concert events of original music," says The GIG USA's Creator and Executive Producer Nicholas Koontz. "It's one of three integrated components of what we are creating." he adds. "The video from that performance has been fully post-produced and the music tracks re-mastered into a live recorded album. What we now have as a result of that concert performance," Nick continues, "is a two hour, twenty-four minute (02:24), feature length Rockumentary and its accompanying live soundtrack album that may be enjoyed by a much greater audience online, viewed and or listened to in their homes."
"In doing this process we've made every effort to bring the excitement of that live concert performance to new viewers and home audiences, and I believe that it shows in both the recordings of the audio and the video," states David Uldrich, Co-Producer of The GIG USA. "Eddie Testa wanted to tell his musical autobiography, so to speak, and in addition to performing his outstanding original musical compositions, beginning from the time he started writing songs at the young age of fourteen years old to his latest album 'THE L SESSIONS,' he also narrated between songs providing context and a colorful backstory for his audience, and they loved it!"

"We are dedicated to uncovering, recording and promoting original musical artists with our unique multi-layered approach to live and recorded concert performances," he adds.

"That means that The GIG LIVE! is your new online entertainment venue that will be bringing you a whole new variety of great programming, now and in the future," offers David Uldrich. "I'm sure that audiences will appreciate seeing new artists that they may never have seen before and listening to these new voices. Some artists, like The Eddie Testa Band may be well known locally or regionally," he continues, "however, they are primarily known as great cover bands, not so much for their original songs, if at all. We believe The GIG LIVE! can and will be a driving force in this new direction for original music artists and songwriters."
