MAKING PACIFIC NORTHWEST EVENTS SOUND AMAZING SINCE 2005
"I became a sound engineer because I wanted every performer to feel what I felt on stage – that magical moment when everything sounds perfect."
Professional sound from someone who gets it
FROM PERFORMER TO PRODUCER
Every sound engineer has a story. Mine starts on stage.
I spent years as a musician, chasing that perfect moment when everything clicks – the crowd connects, the band locks in, and you feel larger than life. I know what it's like to step on stage hoping the sound tech understands your vision. I know the frustration when they don't.
That experience drives everything we do at Soundguy Productions. When I started this company 20 years ago, I made a simple promise: every performer deserves to feel like a rockstar, and every audience deserves to hear them clearly.
Today, we're the trusted sound partner for venues, festivals, and events across the Pacific Northwest. From intimate coffee shop sets to 2,500-person summer concerts, we bring the same dedication to making everyone sound their best.
It's not just about the equipment. It's about understanding what artists need to feel confident, what venues need to run smoothly, and what audiences deserve to experience.
After 20 years, this isn't just my job – it's my passion.
- Rich, Founder
SOUND WITHOUT THE DRAMA
The industry has a reputation problem. Everyone's worked with that grumpy sound engineer who treats performers like inconveniences and venues like battlegrounds. That's not us.
PROFESSIONAL ≠ DIFFICULT
We prove that you can be serious about quality without being hard to work with. Clear communication and collaborative problem-solving are standard.
EVERY EVENT MATTERS
Whether it's a 50-person coffee shop or a 2,500-person festival, your event gets our full attention. No job is too small for excellence.
CALM CONFIDENCE
Two decades of experience means we've seen it all. Weather, equipment failures, last-minute changes – we adapt and deliver without the panic.
TWO DECADES OF GETTING IT RIGHT
THE SOUNDGUY DIFFERENCE
MUSICIAN'S PERSPECTIVE
We've been on both sides of the board. We understand what performers need to feel confident and sound great. That empathy makes all the difference.
VENUE PARTNERSHIP
We treat your space with respect, work well with your staff, and always leave it better than we found it. Venues love working with us.
REAL RELIABILITY
When we say we'll be there at 2 PM, we're there at 1:45. When we quote a price, that's the price. No surprises, no excuses.
