Cascade Audio started as a passion project for Aaron Tuchardt in 2024. Aaron is an international touring musician and educator local to the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. Growing up in the area, his passion for the rich music scene was supported from a young age. Whether it was running a small PA system for his own events, or helping the high school AV teacher with concerts, Aaron began to realize the importance of quality audio to the experience of events. In high school, Aaron began to hone his skills with a one semester audio class. Students learned how to dub audio to films, commercials, and movies, while also assisting with the mixing of the jazz concerts. After high school, Aaron began working at Central Washington University as a recording technician and live sound FOH engineer. This involved running and mixing individually mic’d jazz bands and vocal jazz ensembles. Aaron also recorded several albums and assisted in the production of the university’s jazz band 1 ensemble during covid. After covid, Aaron began to freelance doing recording and live sound production as a contractor for several companies. Aaron continues working with those companies while growing his own business to ensure that the Pacific Northwest has quality audio service for many years to come. Aaron has been fortunate enough to run events for some of the biggest corporation owners in the PNW, and has run sound for some of the most popular cover and wedding bands. If you need live sound or a band, please contact Aaron on the contact page.
