One of the best gigs I've ever done was for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in Downtown Toronto and the Prime Minister himself checked out our performance! It was incredible to entertain all the movie stars, celebrities and politicians in my hometown of Toronto.
It would certainly be festivals playing original music, but aside from that it would have to be weddings because the feeling of love and community is very strong in the air and it totally elevates the music and mood of the whole space!
I started gigging during college with various funk, fusion bands and DJs, then one thing led to another and since then I have gone on to perform hundreds of gigs with world class musicians in festivals and gigs all around the world, and started my own saxophone entertainment agency!
Cannonball Adderley, Kenny Garrett, Grover Washington Jr, Maceo Parker.
Depending on the event, I usually arrive 1 hour early since my setup is quick and minimal. I usually stick to 2x 45 minute sets however set times really depend on what the client wants and can fluctuate depending on type of event.
If the weather has zero chance of rain, and has heating provided if it is in the colder months, then playing outside can be certainly be an option!
Yes we allow for some requests as long as the client provides them 2 weeks in advance. We also have multiple playlists of styles and songs that the clients can pick and choose from to build their perfect setlist!
I have strictly 5 star reviews from all my clients from my private agency across the board! Here's some quotes from what they are saying about my performance!

The Star of the evening!
Stuart was absolutely incredible! My guests truly enjoyed having a saxophonist play during dinner at my wedding and many of them kept telling me how unique and wonderful the idea was! Stuart was so professional, played many different genres of music and kept the happy vibes going! I would 1000% recommend Stuart again to anyone looking for adding a little something extra to really make your even memorable!
