I had the privilege of hiring Fred Horn to play at my father's funeral, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his professionalism and talent. From the moment we made contact, Fred demonstrated a level of professionalism that immediately put me at ease during such a difficult time.
Fred called in advance to discuss the details of the event and asked thoughtful questions to ensure everything would be perfect. He was incredibly flexible with the timing and duration of his performance, even arriving early to set up and maintain the surprise element for the other guests.
What truly impressed me was Fred's willingness to learn specific songs for the occasion. He approached each piece with dedication and respect, and his performance was exactly what we needed to honor my father's memory. Throughout the service, Fred remained attentive and respectful, seamlessly transitioning between songs and providing moments of comfort and reflection.
Not only did Fred exceed our expectations during the service, but he also went above and beyond by staying after his contracted time to chat with us and ensure everything had gone smoothly. He even took the initiative to find backing tracks for the songs and sent them to me well in advance, which was incredibly helpful.
Fred arrived prepared with two saxophones, dressed appropriately, and conducted himself with the utmost professionalism throughout the event. His music added a beautiful and uplifting atmosphere to the funeral, turning what could have been a somber occasion into a celebration of my father's life.
I wholeheartedly recommend Fred Horn to anyone in need of a professional saxophone player. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, and his contribution truly made the entire funeral a memorable and meaningful experience. It was worth every penny, and I am forever grateful for his talent and dedication.

He learned and played a Bill Withers song for my father’s memorial service. Everybody loved it and began singing the song. My Dad would have loved it. He even offered to play more songs. I would book him again. He also took time to chat with me after the service. Cool guy with serious skills.

Fred was great! I requested that he play jazz along with specific songs and he even learned music just for our event. He did a great job interacting with us and made the experience very fun. Would definitely hire again!
He was very nice and the music was great. He was for 4 hours during our holiday party for our law firm. We will use him again.
Fred did an excellent job playing at our wedding ceremony!

Fred was friendly and quick in response to any questions I had regarding our event. I wish he played more of the songs I requested and made his own playlist. In the end, it was fun to have a live performer on-site for our get-together.

Great experience. Music was great, and timing as well.

I contacted Fred about performing for my family's Christmas Eve gathering, but I wanted him to play my grandfather's "C" melody saxophone that had not been used since the early 50's. I met Fred at an instrument shop so he could check out the Sax and see if it was playable... turns out it was in much need of repairs. After the repairs were done, Fred kept the sax so he could practice on it since it is different from the normal saxophones and music is not readily available. The night of his performance, he showed up on time and got set up with his background sound system. My family thoroughly enjoyed Fred's performance, especially since he was using my mom's dads Sax.

After reviewing a handful of musicians, my fiancee and I decided to hire Fred for a very special birthday. He was the consummate professional, following up with our music preferences and requests. The night of our party he came early and proceeded to delight our guests with an amazing range of jazz, rock and blues - all our favorites. A great musician and entertainer. We can't wait to work with Fred again!

What to Expect
i usually bring a boombox that plays backing tracks with the vocals taken out, and some i play to the the original recording such as "pick up the pieces" by AWB. If needed i can bring a medium sized sound system and run the sound thru that along with me going thru a microphone.I can play your music during breaks. I dont need much space since its just me. Sometimes i am asked to play just sax alone. I play 3 saxes 9alto,tenor, soprano and can bring flute and clarinet. Off my most recent CD i have backing tracks I can play to which covers a variety of styles.(look up "Steady Freadys Ready" on line to hear samples.. Also I am open to learn some tunes you desire.
