sarah madigan

Working in the music industry since 2008, Sarah has built an illustrious career as one of Australia’s most respected freelance touring professionals. She is predominantly an audio engineer, specialising in IEM monitor mixing, but has extensive experience in all aspects of touring; from tour management to production management and, of course, FOH audio.

Her journey into the music industry started in her teens, when she started learning bass guitar in high school. Playing in multiple bands throughout her school years, she wanted to expand her knowledge of music and decided to pursue technical production in uni. She studied at SAE and then quickly cut her teeth mixing bands in small clubs, before going on her first tour as FOH for Skipping Girl Vinegar in 2009.

Since then, Sarah worked as production manager or venue tech across multiple Melbourne venues, including Northcote Social Club, The Curtin and Shebeen. She currently moonlights at Northcote Theatre when not touring.

For the last 10 years, Sarah has been fortunate enough to tour full time with a range of artists. She has travelled all over Australia and the world, helping to deliver shows to a wide range of audiences.
