BRYAN HAIRSTON
PRODUCTION MANAGER - LEAD AUDIO ENGINEER - PRODUCTION DESIGNER
LIGHTING DESIGNER - SYSTEMS DESIGNER
​​​​​​​Bryan leads with a stable hand and a sharp ear. As a production manager, he keeps tours moving with clarity, calm, and respect — trusted by vendors, loved by crews, and deeply connected to the rhythm of life on the road. He brings structure without rigidity, sets the thermostat through presence, and creates a space where teams feel supported to do their best work.
​
On the audio side, Bryan mixes with surgical precision and impressionistic musicality. His front-of-house sound is clear, full, and dimensional — every instrument is balanced and cutting in the mix, every vocal lands with intention. Monitors are tailored, responsive, and artist-forward. Nothing is buried, nothing is harsh — just a mix that feels right, night after night.
​
As a designer and programmer, Bryan builds show environments that are cohesive, intentional, and speak from the artist’s voice. His lighting and production designs are never just aesthetic — they’re structural, energetic, and diliberate. Bryan works with efficiency and vision, ensuring every element works in harmony to serve the story.
​
Bryan is a natural leader, but never a one-man show. He thrives in collaboration— listening, adapting, and aligning with the creative and technical vision at hand. Whether he’s guiding a crew, mixing a show, designing a system or production– he brings consistency, thoughtfulness, and quiet excellence to everything he does.
