Hi, I’m James Sheridan, a live and studio audio engineer with hands-on experience in production, recording, and cabling. I regularly mix FOH for church services and livestreams, run sound checks, test stream quality, and deliver high-standard mixes for diverse audiences. I have also recently gained experience from Clearwing Productions, a Clair Global brand, where I prepped stages, tours, and festivals. Pulling and setting up PA, stage racks, consoles, and more. I just graduated in May with a B.S. in Audio Engineering at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, and I work across Harvest New Beginning, WCSF, Allegro Music & Dance Academy, and various freelance gigs in the Chicago area. I also enjoy playing drums and exploring other instruments, which keeps me creative and collaborative with the artists I work with.
