Starkey Live Productions (SLP), founded by Kelly and Joel "Sparky" Starkey, provides top-tier live event production services, including expert sound engineering, dynamic stage lighting, and professional mobile stage rentals. Our business is built on a core commitment: providing community-affordable pricing without ever sacrificing professional quality. We specialize in bringing the high-end audio and high-energy lighting experiences of multimillion-dollar venues to local, accessible scales.
Our core offering includes the Stageline SL75, a professional, weather-resistant mobile stage that ensures safe, rapid deployment for outdoor concerts, festivals, and municipal events.
Backed by over 20 years of live production experience—including managing events for the USAF Central Command—our technical direction is led by a peer-vetted Full Member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), guaranteeing world-class audio precision. Furthermore, as active members of the Event Safety Alliance (ESA), we operate with a strict "life safety first" mindset to protect audiences, crews, and community reputations.
SLP was founded to fill a critical gap in Northeast event production by making professional-grade live music affordable to local municipalities, organizers, and schools. Our ultimate mission is to break down barriers, elevate shared community spirit, and inspire the next generation of youth to get involved in music and theater arts across the Androscoggin Valley and New England.
