ABOUT NETSOUND

Let there be sound

Established in 2009, Netsound is the industry leader for sound in Northern California. We’re highly sought after in the wedding industry, appearing with our DJ service, Photo Booths, sound and lighting, in well over 100 weddings each year. Thanks to hundreds of satisfied customers and great referrals, we have increased sales year over year for 10 years straight.

Anderson’s famed Mosquito Summer Serenade never looked back after hiring us in 2009 and now we coordinate that series as well as run live sound there — ask the more than 150 bands what they think of Netsound. We’ve served Redding at the Market Street Fairs, and Yreka in their concert series, as well as Kool April Nites.  We traveled and ran production many years in a row for Transform our World at the Hilton Hawaiian multi-ballroom, the Fairmont in San Jose and Hyatt Monterey Ca. We’ve handled close to 1000 weddings, dozens of talent shows/open mic nights.  Redding’s Sundial Festival, 4th of July Freedom Festival and July 3rd event in neighboring Anderson, a score of Reggae festivals and many a winery event.  “Think Pink” Committee choses us to light the Sundial bridge pink and we’re regularly chosen by dozens of companies to host their company party at the end of the year as well as dozens of schools choosing dances and proms.

Other clients include: Simpson University, Bethel Church, California Welcome Centers, Sierra Pacific Industries, Far Northern Regional Center, Mercy Medical Center Dignity Health, the Shasta Wine Village, Viva Downtown, The Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce and many more. If you want a professionally executed event using state of the art equipment, Netsound is the clear choice.

Jon Thompson

Founder

Hear more about me.
Jon has been in music and sound since his youth. He co-founded a pop/rock band in Argentina in 1988 that is traveling worldwide today. He married his Argentine sweetheart in ’92 and settled in NorCal. After 12 years on staff as music & youth director at a local church, Jon started a successful non-profit that connected city leaders and local citizens in strategic volunteerism and service opportunities. Part of that non-profit included a mobile music team with sweet gear. This lead to NETSOUND. Acquiring many trusting relationships with the movers and shakers of the region, following through responsibly with contacts & service, plus providing much needed pro service of sound and lights laid a foundation for a successful company.
