Overview
Downright Saxy is a one man band that performs instrumental covers of Oldies/Top 40's Hits and Jazz. Downright Saxy is the perfect choice for low to medium sized budgets for private events, weddings, corporate parties, festivals, cocktail hours, and more. This act has the added benefit of being able to play in smaller sized event spaces and is able to keep the volume from getting too loud.
Jeff Miguel plays the vocal melodies live on tenor saxophone and uses a pre-recorded rhythm section to fill out the sound.
Jeff Miguel has a M.A. in Music with an emphasis in Jazz Studies and he received the Downbeat Student Music Award for Best Blues/Pop/Rock Soloist in the Graduate category in 2016.

Jeff and his team were so great to work with and listen too. We had many compliments. He has an extensive list of songs from old to new. He even helped us pull off a New Orleans wedding parade. Thank you so much!

Jeff came out to perform for our Autumn Gala at our apartment Complex. He showed up with more than enough time to set up, made sure to ask about our theme and music style/request before the event as well and was amazing. All of our residents loved it! Thank you so much Jeff!

Polka Folka showed up and showed out for us and our Oktoberfest celebration! They are an amazing professional polka band. We provided the setting but they brought the party! They brought saxy back and were my favorite part of the whole night! We will certainly hire them again

Thank you Kayla!
Jeff was INCREDIBLE! We got married at Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park, CO FINALLY on 17th August 2022. We were supposed to get married April 2020 and Jeff stayed with us through it all. He didn't bat an eye every time we emailed (4x) to postpone and didn't raise his rates. He learned two new songs for us per our request and absolutely smashed them! We literally had our photographers, videographer and other vendors come up and ask for his contact details. Our friends and family were obsessed!! He played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. THANKS A BUNCH JEFF!! One of the best suppliers to work with!

We were looking for a flutist and were so very fortunate to have Jeff contact us!! Not only does he play the sax, but was able to add Native American flutes for us as well. Highly professional, great communicator and wonderful addition to our reception and dinner during our conference. We could not offer a higher recommendation for an addition to your event!!

Thank you Gina!
We hired Jeff/Downright Saxy to play music during our formal prom dinner event. He showed up early to be ready to play as guests arrived. His set up was professional and his music was outstanding. Jeff is very talented and is able to play music to fit a variety of audiences! He played songs in many different genres to meet the style of our high school students as well as our older faculty/staff. I will be booking Downright Saxy for future social events!

Thank you Lorie!
Jeff at Downright Saxy was the perfect choice for our corporate event. He showed up on time to set up, was capable of getting things going on his own, stayed on play time schedule and overall put on a great show. The event had about 320 people who were very excited to talk to each other after a year of work from home. His music and performance really excited the crowd and brought life to the event. Our company requested a saxophone with backtracks playing Jazz music. Jeff shared a playlist in advance in addition to asking for requests. Would book again!

Thank you Michaela!
We weren’t sure what to expect in hiring a polka band but Polka Folka was so much fun, we loved the covers of pop songs they added to mix it up. They made our 20 person COVID socially-distanced Oktoberfest party super fun. Professional and fun band!

WOW!!! Just perfect! Jeff played at my wedding ceremony & cocktail hour, and I have nothing but praise for him and his talent!! He completely set a fun and elegant vibe for our wedding and we received so many compliments! He was versatile in his playlist and read the crowd perfectly. Beyond that, Jeff was quickly responsive, easy to communicate with and extremely reliable. I look forward to seeing him play at future events and recommend him 100%.

Downright Saxy played at our company holiday party. They were our musical entertainment for the first hour as people were arriving to the party. Jeff and Ryan were great playing the saxophone and trombone. They played a nice variety of cover songs. Jeff was very professional and easy to work with. I would hire them again!

We hired Downright Saxy as a 5 piece New Orleans Style Jazz Band for our Mardi Gras party. They knocked it out of the park and helped make the event a success.
We would not hesitate to hire them again!
Highly recommended :)
