Jack’s role as production manager included coordinating the physical aspects of a performance for the musicians, such as hiring and organizing the crew, lights, catering, security, and more for each and every show on a tour, and then ensuring that everyone followed through on their roles. When musicians weren’t touring on the road, Jack would do similar work for his local shows and events. Production managers were, and are, integral to the music scene here in Austin — without them, we couldn’t have any live music!

Jack Yoder has a solid background in music, coming from a musical family and oozing an undeniable passion for all things music and performance related. But rather than becoming a music-maker himself, Jack’s journey led him to production management, where he supported musicians by facilitating their shows, from huge national tours or one-off gigs. Jack has done production management work for a variety of celebrated musicians, from Julio Iglesias to Frank Sinatra to Austin’s own Willie Nelson! It’s safe to say that Jack is the definition of a cool, old-school Austinite.
