Wade Keighran (born 1 August 1984) is an Australian rock musician, songwriter, audio engineer and record producer currently based in Sydney and is the head in-house engineer at Linear Recording facilities. 

In the early 2000's, at age 18 Wade released 2 EPs and an album on Sydney based label, Resist Records, with his band Taking Sides. Wade left the band to become the bass player and co-song writer for The Scare in 2005 and relocated to the UK to begin writing and touring in support of their debut album Chivalry.

After 5 years of relentless touring through the U.K, Europe, U.S and Australia the band released their 2nd and final album OOZEVOODOO, which was produced by Daniel Johns of Silverchair.

After parting ways with The Scare Wade began to pursue his studio career more seriously, earning the role of in-house assistant at Big Jesus Burger studios in Sydney where he learned under engineers and producers like Chris Townend (Portishead, D12, Oren Ambarchi), Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, The Sleepy Jackson) and Eric J Dubowski (Weezer, Chet Faker).

When BJB closed in 2011 Wade moved to Linear Recording Studio and in the same year also joined Adelaide based heavy rock band Wolf & Cub as the bass player and co-songwriter. 

Since starting at Linear with owner Chris Vallejo, 
Wade has become part of the furniture in the studio.
He has worked with nearly everyone that has come through the doors there including Passenger, Mick Harvey, Empire of the Sun, The Presets, Daniel Johns, Keith Urban to name a few as the in-house engineer.

2012 saw the construction of the "Quad Eight" mix room at Linear and since then Wade has been able to step up his mixing game while still being able to perform live with his bands Wolf & Cub, and Steve Smyth & The Outlaws.

In 2013 Wade was also able to perform on, produce and engineer his own album, Wolf & Cub - "Heavy Weight" and co-write songs for Steve Smyth's 2nd album "Exits" with long time collaborator Brock Fitzgerald (The Scare, Wolf & Cub, Steve Smyth & the Outlaws.)

As of 2015 Wade maintains his position as in-house engineer at Linear Recording, continues to tour relentlessly with both Wolf & Cub and Steve Smyth & The Outlaws and still hopes to one day meet Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead.
