Piano and Tenor Saxophone Live Music

So many people love to hear the saxophone! I can play along with pre-recorded tracks and can bring my own sound equipment and piano as well! I can provide a wonderful and exciting atmosphere to your event.

I can bring my own PA system. My price will vary, depending if you book just the piano or saxophone.
