I needed a sax player for my cocktail hour. It was a last minute decision but Dana was able and willing to let us book. My guests absolutely loved the music selection Dana played and raves about his musical talent. If I am ever in Vegas and need a saxophonist again, I would rebook him.

Dana arrived at our venue on time. He only took a short time to set up and then the party was on! Dana played a wide range of music on the saxophone and sang a few tunes. We danced and sang along to the familiar tunes for a couple of hours. He was personable and was a delight to have at our small family gathering. I highly recommend him to anyone who likes live music. We will definitely ask him back when we return to the area again. Thank Dana! You Rock!

Dana is a "top-notch" talented musician who is quick to respond & went the "extra" mile by picking up an order of flowers and cupcakes before playing a SURPRISE jazzy birthday serenade at my sister's office while 45 people swayed to the music. We highly recommend Dana and will definitely hire him again! Thanks Dana!

I've had Dana Garrett play at a few private parties. Besides being on time, and very professional, Dana can really play the saxophone! He can play any genre of music, he sings, and he knows how to get the crowd moving. Super fun!
