meet the founder
Lauren Oakes began her career as an audio engineer as the sound effects designer for her 3rd grade school play. after a brief stint as the guitar player and singer of an all-girl grunge band, she asked to be an unpaid audio intern at a music venue in houston called fitzgerald’s. she spent 12 years at that venue working with countless artists and touring engineers. when the venue came to an end, she took the leap into touring. as time flew by, she transitioned into the role of a tour manager and began the valiant effort of cracking the code of what makes a good tm. this site is her way of giving back to the industry by writing blogs filled with the tricks she’s learned, connecting people with tours and just generally giving a shit about the community.
you can find lauren running around the world with various artists or at home in seattle with her incredible partner and two cats, Moody & Marty. reach out in the contact form if you’d like to tour with lauren or have any questions.
