Josie Hoggard

Hi there, my name is Josie. I’ve been touring since September 2014. My main work has been with Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn. With them I’ve travelled all over the USA, within Canada, Europe, Mexico, and Australia, mostly bus tours lasting up to 5 weeks at a time. With them I do odds and ends including TM assistant, merch, stage tech/banjo tech, stage managing, and running their nonprofit initiative. Since February of 2016 I have been tour managing for Columbia recording artists Ruth B. all across the US and Canada, including a 6 week bus tour opening for Alessia Cara, and several van tours where I was the primary driver. I have goals to add FOH to my long list of skills, but I’m not quite adept enough to call myself a FOH engineer. I’m quite knowledgeable in the live audio realm and look forward to learning even more. I love touring and I love music, I feel really lucky to be able to do what I do. Cheers!
