The Work of Art: Elvis Costello Monitor Mixer Frank Farrell

Today on the Work of Art, WWNO's Karl Lengel chats with audio engineer Frank Farrell. A concert has the front-of-house engineer who mixes for the audience and the monitor engineer who mixes for the artist. Frank Farrell has an expansive career doing just that - among others, for Kenny Rogers, Steve Miller and, currently, Elvis Costello. Like many audio engineers, he got started as a musician in his teens.

Support for The Work of Art is provided by The Helis Foundation.

Karl Lengel worked at New Orleans Public Radio for more than two decades before leaving the station in 2023.
