PORT PERRY, ON, Canada — Adamson Systems Engineering has hired David Dohrmann and Ewan McDonald as tour support engineers. Dohrmann is based in Berlin, Germany and will join Adamson European Tour Support with chief technician Jochen Sommer. Ewan McDonald, from Sydney, Australia, will be joining Adamson’s Canadian headquarters support team.
Dohrmann’s first University degree was in musicology. His career began as a keyboard and piano player in several bands in Berlin, and a few years later he found himself in music production and doing studio work, which led him to begin work as a freelance audio technician and enroll in engineering programs at Robert-Schumann-Hochschule and University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf, Germany. After graduating in 2006, he has been working as a freelance sound engineer and system technician for many local to international productions such as the President’s Ball with Status Quo, Princess Lillifee Musical Tour, and Brian Ferry.
McDonald’s career began just over 10 years ago. He got his first notable break with Norwest Productions working at the Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony in 2000. He continued his relationship with Norwest, becoming one of their most senior systems engineers and just finished overseeing the Adamson PA on the Australian leg of the Brooks & Dunn tour, before getting on a plane to Canada. He will be conducting training seminars and tour support worldwide.
