Showtime Sound is a full-service event production company located in Frederick, Maryland that provides a full range of audio, lighting, video, staging, and backline, for any size event or venue.
The Showtime Sound team specializes in production integration. That means they can design, build, and move events or tours from large clubs to touring arena to outdoor stadiums.
Founded in 2006, owners Scott Tydings and Shawn Hocherl met through live performances when Shawn’s band was touring and Scott provided production services such as audio and lighting for the group.
When Shawn decided to leave drumming professionally, he joined forces with Scott to create Showtime Sound LLC. They saw a need for high-end event production services based in the Frederick area. The business rapidly grew into a festival, touring, private, and corporate event service that now produces Audio, Video, Lighting, Staging, and backline for events around the world.

Why Frederick Rocks
The best part about being a business owner in Frederick is being able bring large-scale production to our local events. For example, we work with Celebrate Frederick to bring lighting, staging, and audio for In the Street, Party in the Park, and the Summer Concert Series at Baker Park, which we are happy to say is back this Sunday!
We also love collaborating with other small businesses in the area. For our most recent local production, It’s Showtime at the Drive-In, we worked with the Frederick Fairgrounds and our friends with local restaurant/food truck businesses, as well as breweries, to join the events! We love being able to help our community and we love everything Frederick has to offer!
We also love giving back to our community. We have supported and provided production for local non-profits such as Sophie and Madigan’s Playground, Platoon 22, Living Classrooms, Special Olympics of Maryland, and Celebrate Frederick.
