Bill Hanley is regarded as the "father of festival sound". He is most widely known as the sound engineer behind the Woodstock festival in Bethel, New York in August 1969.[1] He was also influential in a number of other festivals.[1][2] According to Michael Lang about Woodstock, "“I was trying to find someone who could do a sound system for Woodstock, and there was no one who had ever done something like that before. Then there was this crazy guy in Boston who might want to take a shot at it.”[3] He was also a part of the large rock Mar Y Sol festival in Puerto Rico in the 1970s.[4]
