Welcome to Ils

Lighting & sound

Established in 1975 by Richard F. Dooley, Sr., Interstate Lighting and Sound was the first full service professional lighting company in Nashville. Richard, with a full staff of working professionals, quickly rose to become one of the premier professional lighting and sound providers to what was then the growing “Music City USA”.

Working with Television Stations, Production Studios, Theaters, Schools, Churches and professionals, Interstate Lighting and Sound quickly became a standard tool for the entertainment professional. Interstate played a vital role in the development of all television and video services, “Music City, U.S.A.”

Today after over 40 years of providing professional lighting and sound to the Southeastern United States, Interstate still remains an icon for the entertainment industry. Owner Frank Dooley with a staff of over 75 years of experience, Interstate Lighting and Sound can provide you the expertise in selection, sales, installation and support.

If you are in Nashville we invite you to stop by and visit! We always like to meet our customers to have a better understanding of their needs – That’s just the way we are, good people that provide a good service. “That’s why we’ve been here so long”
