Amazing
My uncle passed away and we were looking for a singer and Irish fiddler to play at the funeral. Sean was amazing at getting a singer and a guitarist to accompany him. He took care of everything, reaching out to the music director at the church. He was very professional and great communication. If you hire Sean you will have no worries and the music is phenomenal. I would use his service again

Amazing and Great Performance!
Eugene was awesome and professional. He played my mom's favorite song at her memorial service and gave an outstanding performance!! He communicated with me right away about song selections and the set up. He agreed to wear the colors I requested to match the family! He brought his red saxophone to match. Eugene's music was great and he left our guests with great memories and entertainment that we will never forget! Book with Eugene "The Talking Sax" you will not be disappointed!
