Sax Dude Solo saxophonist playing jazz standards to pop favorites

I can play solo just through my saxophone that can project quite strongly when needed. I also own a battery powered PA system where I can use my wireless microphone on my saxophone , and can also even add backing tracks to what I am playing if that is desired.

I just need the name of the venue and where you want me setup. I will investigate load-in options, parking, etc.

I own a PA that I have used for many wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. It is not the massive PA with powerful bass that my full band uses where all nine of us are hired to create a dance party. My PA is more for jazz and comfortable listening.

I play appropriate mp3 music through my PA when I am not playing saxopohone.

There have been a lot of special venues and concerts. If I had to pick one it would be getting to belt out a powerful sax solo on the 50 yard line of the Mile High Stadium for every home game just before kickoff. The Broncos Stampede would play "Let's Get it Started in Here" and let me put that Saturday Night Live kind of saxophone flavor all over while playing into a mic on the 50 yard line (I also just got to play sax in a commercial with Peyton Manning which was very cool). If not that, I would say one of the many incredible concerts with HomeSlice, or when I got to play with Flo Rida.

I love any event where people get energized listening to great music. It is an honor to be one of the musicians helping to fill the place with excitement and good times.

I was raised going to jam sessions with my father and a bunch of guitarists that just wanted me to play their songs by ear and cut loose on solos. Being forced to use my ear as a child was a great foundation to then extend through countless hours studying music theory and learning from the best in town.

My answer is not what song is the most impressive, but what song helped motivate me to become a saxophonist. That song is "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by the Rolling Stones with Bobby Keys on saxophone.

Setup timing depends on if the PA is needed for the event. I give myself an hour to setup and provide some down time, and then I usually do my 1 hour set or two 50 minute sets.

I prefer to be sheltered from the sun and rain if outside.

I encourage clients to tell me what they are looking for the big picture and take a request. I will tailor my setlist to their preferences.

Professional, dynamic, energizing, authentic, uplifting
