    Huskies on Tour: Alumni Engineer the Sounds of Summer

    Whether they're stepping up to engineer front-of-house sound at Lollapalooza, setting up speakers for Taylor Swift, or soundscaping award-winning video games, Michigan Technological University alumni are making waves in the audio industry. Charles Southward graduated from Michigan Tech in 2018 with a degree in audio production and technology. His career hit the ground running with Eighth Day Sound in Cleveland, Ohio. The company provides equipment and technicians for live touring productions. Soon after graduation, Southward found himself working with artists such as Tyler, The Creator; The Script; and 311. The highlights of his career are two more recent tours he calls "ones for the history books" — Rage Against the Machine's summer 2022 tour and Taylor Swift's Eras tour in 2023-24.
