We hired Doug for a 4th of July party and he was amazing! We talked on the phone prior to his hiring to assure he could play the music I wanted. He arrived an hour early to set up everything for his performance. He is a very talented musician. Everyone loved his playing. I think he played for 2 hours without taking a break. I would highly recommend him for your event.

I just want to say Doug was the best I asked Doug if he could play a song that meant a lot to my husband It was a song that his dad Loved. I wasn't sure if Doug was gonna be able to play it because he said he needed more time but the day of my event he surprised me with that song and my husband loved it he Even shed some tears. So I would just like to say Doug was the best he came through he did what he had to do and made my event the best it could be

Thanks for the warm review of my service to you Alice! I truly enjoyed the entire evening and your hospitality was first class! Thanks again for letting me share in your celebration of your husband!🥰
Doug EarIey mastered the moment, performing at my sister's memorial service. Smooth in the background, snazzy in the foreground. Kudos, first, from me - the guy who hired him. I can't tell you how many wonderful comments I received from our guests: "The music was the perfect touch"... "the sax man gave you just the right dose"... "the music made it really classy"... "Linda would've loved the music"... and those were just a few. On the production side, he really made my work easy... from set-up, to coordinating with everyone in the ceremony, to break-down. Job well done!

Thanks for the review!🥰 I truly enjoyed playing for you and your guests! Looking forward to the next time!
Doug Earley delivered in every way. The initial booking contact, confirmation of event, on time arrival, set up and performance were all executed with nothing less than perfection.
We were a party of 4 best friends, celebrating a milestone birthday with a weekend sleepover and live music. The saxophone is the instrument of choice for all of us so Doug’s performance was the true highlight of the evening.
He was personable, charming, generous with his performance and comfortably fit right in with our private party of 4. He clearly loves what he does and so did we. I/we would absolutely hire Doug again and again.
Response from Doug Earley, Saxophonist:

The music was excellent; my guest all complimented his performance and how good the music and vibe was. I was very satisfied with his services. You won’t be disappointed if you hire Doug for any event.
Thank you Doug!!!

Response from Doug Earley, Saxophonist:
Thanks Mildred! I truly enjoyed meeting you and helping to make your day special! Continued blessings to you!
Arrived early and was set to perform at the start of the event. I highly recommend Doug Early. Non-Stop library of music.
Doug Early is a phenomenal talent that has captured the ears, minds and hearts of the local Groveland community. In doing so, he has also entertained possibly thousands of tourists from around the world at our small venue, The Iron Door Saloon.
He has a diverse repertoire and delivery that make it possible for him to entertain anyone. Doug is so personable with the patrons, he endears himself upon the crowds with a smoothness and ease of a true professional.
I would recommend Doug for any venue and any event.
Having Saxophonist, Doug Earley perform at my 60th Birthday Dinner Celebration was a total success and a delight. He played the most beautiful melodies before and during dinner, which was absolutely spectacular, and no words can describe how special this made one of the most important nights of my life. “definitely the highlight of the party”.. My family and guest raved over his performance and his range of music selected , as well as his professional poise. Thank you so much again Doug Earley!
He is an amazing and very talented sax player. Doug has played several events for our family and friends. From birthday party’s to hanging out on the boat at the lake.
Doug Early... I hired him for my wedding, he was always very kind, I made him some special requests for certain music that he had never played and in reality, I did not expect more from him since he did not have much time to practice, he had time and he did it, My guests my husband and I were very happy and surprised, very relaxed and at the same time surprised that I had a saxophonist instead of a band since we are Mexicans.🤗 It was incredible to have him at our wedding, totally 100% and Recommended...
Not only is Doug super talented, reasonably priced, but also a great person to work with. He is so professional and made sure everything ran smoothly for our wedding. He created an upbeat vibe (which we requested) for our wedding and set the tone for the rest of the night!!! Our guests LOVED his music!!!!!
Response from Doug Earley, Saxophonist:
I truly enjoyed working with Sharon and Todd to make their special day just that!.........SPECIAL! It was the type of environment with allowed me to really play my best!! I had a great time too!!
I hired Doug for my backyard wedding in December. He was so easy to work with from the very beginning. Doug was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. His music was beautiful and loved and commented on by all the guests. He absolutely nailed the songs I requested for our entrances. Overall I am really, really happy to have him perform for our special day.

My music is focused towards Smooth and Jazzy renditions of popular favorites. I purposely maintain a pleasant volume which is loud enough for the music to be thoroughly enjoyed, low enough so that the audience members can still enjoy a conversation with yelling at each other.
My music selections cover Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Smooth Jazz and Jazz genres. I deliver my music with passion as I believe that the saxophone is a Voice in itself, just as a vocalist would deliver their music through their voice instrument.
I thrive on being a Professional! That is of extreme importance to me. I am always prompt, respecting my clients in every way possible.
Music has always been a big part of Doug’s life. As a youngster, growing up in Muskegon Heights, Michigan, there was always music in the house. Doug’s father was a singer in the church and his brother was in the school band. Feeling the Motown influence from across the state of Michigan, music was everywhere and was a huge motivation for everyone!
Doug credits his mother for getting him involved with playing the saxophone. “Mom told me, you can decide what instrument you want to play, but you WILL be joining the school band!” Doug chose the saxophone because of the beauty of its appearance and sound. Beginning in the fourth grade and throughout high school, he played in concert, ensemble, and marching bands. When in college, Doug joined several different dance bands as a hobby.
After graduating college, Doug moved to Los Angeles and began full-time work in the Telecommunications Industry and the saxophone went into the closet….for almost 20 years, only to come out on occasion to play along while listening to great influential players such as Grover Washington, Tom Scott, Ronnie Laws, and others. Eventually, he realized that music was a huge part of who he is and he began to play again.
Currently, Doug plays with local bands and does his solo saxophone act at various venues and events around LA. You can also find him playing on the Santa Monica Pier. Doug has shared the stage with Smooth Jazz artists such as Al Jarreau, Peter White, Euge Groove, Randy Jacobs, Mindi Abair and many others.
