JOEL MATZINGER
15+ YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL AUDIO, TOUR, AND PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
WITH SOME FUN PROJECTS ALONG THE WAY
I am a touring professional with a diverse skillset spanning from audio production, welding fabrication, electrical installation, CAD drawing, and business management. My enthusiasm for audio engineering started at a young age, growing up in an agricultural town. I went to FFA meetings during the week and worked the local venues on the weekend. During college, I flourished at Sacramento's 4x-audio, where I deepened my technical expertise. Extensive time spent on the road with music tours honed my skills to think fast and problem solve quickly. During the pandemic, I built and managed a food truck. That business kept me afloat and I gained more management experience. My blend of technical proficiency, leadership, team involvement, and diverse background makes me an asset to any team.

"Joel is the kind of person who instantly makes your tour special simply by just being himself.
After working with Joel in every capacity over a 20 year span, I would gladly hire him OR work for him as a Tour Manager, Production Manager, FOH Engineer or Monitor Engineer at any level from Arenas to Theaters" - Tom Addison-TM/PM (*Weezer*DierksBentley*Hole/CourtneyLove*GoodCharlotte*ButchWalker)
“Joel’s tour managing was everything we needed it to be - thoroughly planned ahead, thoughtfully economical with budget, calm in a crisis, first line of defense for us in any way we needed to an extent I’m sure I’ll never even know because he just handled things. We never had to worry about how he represented us because he always struck that balance of being genuine, respectful, and kind while also holding the line when necessary. He’s an expert at diffusing and de-escalating stressful moments. He’s also a fantastic front of house and monitoring engineer. It’s also worth noting that Joel always listened and trusted what we had to say as women in music and was always solutions-oriented and collaborative when we made mix requests. One time our bus broke down and he stayed up all night trying to solve the problem and getting our entire nine person touring party to the next city successfully. He’s honestly just a very good person and anyone’s lucky to work with him.” – Natalie (*JOSEPH)
