Asleep at the Wheel

In this full color Special Collectors Edition coffee table book, we meet an aspirational young guitar player who set out to "get satisfaction" but eventually discovered his purpose in life. From humble beginnings in the Pacific Northwest, Dave Cutter eventually became a force in the concert sound industry even as he struggled against the internal forces attempting to thwart his success. Providing sound for over two-thousand concerts, his "All Access" pass gave him the authority to move freely throughout every concert venue. This book chronicles his personal spiritual journey to the discovery of an All Access Granted pass for his life.

At eight and a half by eleven inches and five hundred pages (with over three hundred full color images) "Asleep at the Wheel" is a big book. It had to be big because Dave Cutter's story is a big story. A compelling story. A story not necessarily unique to his experience. Because, like Dave, there are many who struggle to achieve satisfaction in life, to escape the bondage of the past. As you follow the chronicle of his journey in "Asleep at the Wheel", you will learn that your history does not determine your destiny; that dreams do come true; that even a poor boy who grew up on the streets of Portland, Oregon can rise up to one day own and operate one of the most significant concert sound companies on the West Coast.

In the 1960's & 1970's the growing need for reliable concert sound systems and capable regional rental companies to supply them led to the establishment of hundreds of new entrepreneurial companies nationwide. Some survived, but most did not. Some were more competent than others. Dave Cutter's Sundown Sound was one that thrived, due in no small part to Dave's driving ambition, consistently great sound, creative spirit and the practical approach he took as its owner and founder.
