We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Travis to perform for our residents and families, and he truly blew us away! His talent, energy, and warm presence lit up the room and brought so much joy to everyone. Travis connected beautifully with our residents, engaging them with music that stirred memories, sparked smiles, and even inspired a little dancing! He’s not just a gifted musician—he’s a soul that understands the power of music in bringing people together. We can’t wait to have him back!
We had a small, intimate dinner with about 25 guests. Travis and accompanying guitarist were just fantastic, providing lightly and tasteful dinner music. His sound system was great. He came early and set everything up with a smile.

I had the pleasure of hearing Travis perform at O's Tap on Western in Chicago and it was wonderful. Travis elevated the band's sound by seamlessly integrating with several genres of music and by crushing his solos.
He brought an energy to his performances that had the whole bar vibing with him and the band!

My HONOR and BLESSINGS Linda🙏🏽
I really enjoyed the live performance by Travis Perry at the Global Tap House in Saint Charles. What an amazing Saxophone artist! Travis set the tone for a tremendous night for listening to some classic songs at this venue. The atmosphere inside was electric. Travis was very engaged with the crowd, thus enhancing the overall experience. I would advise anyone, if given the opportunity to watch Travis perform, to do so, you will not be disappointed!

BLESS YOU BRU💪🏾
Travis’ saxophone playing was enjoyed by all who came to Global Brew Tap House. You are a classy, talented musician, and extremely professional. He created a great vibe, his audience was engaged singing and swaying to his music. I would highly recommend to anyone to book Travis for future events. You will not be disappointed. Fantastic performance, and enjoyed listening to his playing. A true professional and a very talented musician!

BLESS YOU SIS🙏🏽
Oh my goodness, you guys! Let me tell you, from the SECOND I walked in, it was like stepping into pure joy! Seriously, the vibe? Electric! And then there's THIS SAXOPHONIST! Forget background music, this was a SHOW! He's playing everything! Like, suddenly you're singing along to something you haven't heard in YEARS, or you're grabbing your date's hand to dance! It's just...magic! Every time he started a new song, it was like a mini-concert! Honestly, ditch whatever plans you have and GO SEE THIS GUY! Bring everyone you know! He's absolutely shining like the king he is! You will NOT regret it! It's an experience!

BLESS YOU BRU🙏🏽
Travis has a great ability to read the room. He can lift the energy and warmly get people involved. He also knows when to let the music speak and take center stage.
He plays a good variety of styles, keeping songs recognizable and while also letting some improvisation come through.
I highly recommend Travis Perry.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU SIS and thanks for your KIND WORDS🙏🏽
I've seen Travis play multiple times. He is a crowd favorite and has an excellent stage presence. His music ranges from soft/easy jazz to R&B to bebop.
Response from Trav P & some:
Bless you my man🙏🏽
Last October, I was in Mexico at the Iberostar Resort, and Travis was playing the saxophone for a large crowd. He was incredible, engaging the audience, getting people to dance, and capturing everyone's attention with his professional-level performance. When he finished, people rushed to thank and compliment his amazing talent. I'm glad I was able to see/hear him play. Travis is going to be famous one day.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU my friend🙏🏽
I had NEVER heard “Trav P” perform LIVE as others were always telling me I need to hear myself! Well, now I understand what the hype was about!!! He really works the crowd, captures and RETAINS everyone’s attention in a unique way different than other musicians!!! All I can saw was WOW as it sounded like he was communicating to the audience through his Sax!! Lastly the outfits and shoes he wears are 🔥🔥🔥A MUST LISTEN!!!
Travis is a wonderful player, super talented, and has a amazing personality.
He is a fun to listen to, and great to work with!

BLESS YOU my friend and MENTOR🙏🏽
Travis is a joy to work with. I’ve played bass to his saxophone in a few settings: jazz, funk, pop and rock. He’s musically astute and aware, and always playing tastefully.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU and a JOY sharing the stage with you!!!!! 🎸
We hired Trav as a saxophonist during a birthday party we hosted in our home. He totally understood the assignment! Had a great playlist cooked up without us have to give any input. He was charismatic, personable, and super engaging. Professional through and through, he asked all the right questions leading up. Can't wait to find another opportunity to have Trav perform.
I jammed with Travis at FRET Wine Bar in Yorkville in December of 2024. He did a really hip rendition of Footprints, and he did a great job of creating a welcoming atmosphere, both on and off stage. Looking forward to jamming with him again!
Response from Trav P & some:
Bless you Bru🙏🏽
I had the pleasure of watching Travis for the first time at the Mad Cats Jazz jam. I was instantly hooked ! He is confident, cool, and creative on stage and wonderful to collaborate with as I sang a few songs with him.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU MY SISTER🙏🏽
Trav is an awesome musician and a pleasure to play with. My first time meeting and playing with Trav was at Madcats Jazz Jam on 12/15. It was my first jam I ever played at and not only could this cat play, but he was so welcoming. Made me feel like I fit in. Looking forward to hearing you play in 2025 and beyond!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU FAMILY and I would play by your side ANYDAY💪🏽
This past Valentine's Day was the most special celebration I've had in long time watching my childhood friend, Travis Perry lead the "Evening Set" Jazz Combo at Bubblehead Brewing Company. From head to toe, Travis exudes a colorful, cool, consummate confidence as a musical entertainer. His jazz selections and sax improvisational style are always tastefully created for each performance.
If you're looking for a jazz artist that will bring the fun to the party at your next occasion, contact the "Saxy" Man - Travis P.!

BLESS YOU my Sister.
Travis is a terrific musician and entertainer. He was so good and having so much fun up on stage …it was contagious. I can’t wait to see him perform again!
Response from Trav P & some:
Bless you my man🙏🏽
Mr. Trav communicated both proactively and effectively upon booking. He initiated communication with us to verify what our needs and expectations were. He even went a step further by confirming our attire expectations and color theme. His arrival on time and with the equipment needed to perform, sealed the deal for future bookings. We had a great time dancing during our dinner event and all the guests were impressed.
We are grateful that Mr. Trav shared his GIFT with us.
I have known Travis for many, many years when we studied music in school. Recently, I had the pleasure to sing alongside him to perform a meaningful jazz tune, Here's to Life. The standing room only venue had the most amazing vibe, our fellow musicians and audience were moved by our performance, all were in awe of his melodic phrasing and passionate delivery. Travis is truly a top tier musician, a true gentleman and a great example of a family man. Here's to ... Travis!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU Steph as you have been a true inspiration for me to perform on stage🙏🏽

I've had the pleasure to play along side Travis for several years and have always been impressed with his musicianship and stage presence. If you’re thinking about hiring Travis, DO IT! You won’t regret it.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU and a BLESSING to share the stage with YOU💪🏾
Soprano, alto, tenor and more!! My friend has serious Saxophone skills! (Travis please correct me, 2 instruments!?) You’re tremendous with all of them. This was the first time in my life that I really felt and understood all the different sounds of Jazz. It wasn’t just hearing it just to hear it, but actually listened! Very captivating! Incredible performance! Well done! Thank you!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU as it was my HONOR to perform in your presence🙏🏽
I've played with Travis about 15 or so times these past two years, and he is always prepared and ready to go. Super flexible as the circumstance dictates, and excellent stage presence. A great master of ceremonies as well, if needed. I always enjoy an opportunity to play with Travis, and the audiences are consistently super appreciative!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU MY MAN and HONORED to share the stage with YOU🙏🏽
Travis is a very talented and charismatic musician..he brings life to all the music he plays and is a pleasure to hear him perform. You won’t be disappointed.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU BRU for the kind words🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Travis had big shoes to fill as a guest front person in our group. He had technical command of every song and played strong from beginning to end. Most importantly, he related to every person in the room in positive way and took me to school on how well this can be done. It is a pleasure to know Travis.

Bless you my man and an HONOR to share the STAGE with you❤️🙏🏽

I have had the pleasure to play music with Travis many times and he always has a way of elevating his last performance. A true gentleman and outstanding performer on and off the stage. Travis will make your event a memorable one. I guarantee it!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU BROTHER❤️🙏🏽
I've had the privilege of playing with Travis on at least a dozen occasions. He always plays with passion, energy, professionalism, and playfulness. He is a very natural showman, effortlessly interacting with the audience during his performances.
Whether you are in need of hiring a performer for event, or if you are bandleader in need of substitute saxophonist, I would not hesitate to hire Travis P.
Oh, and I almost forget to mention his stylish wardrobes. Flashy blazers and matching pork pie hats and shoes. Morgan Freeman once said "I mean, seriously, how often do you look at a man's shoes?" Well if you see Travis P, you'll definitely want to look at his shoes!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU BROTHER & ITS A BLESSING TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH YOU🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Travis has a great sound, knows how to work a crowd, and keep the band jazzed up. Always a great time!
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU BROTHER🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I went out to see Trav play on Valentine’s Night. The music was soft enough to have a conversation and yet I felt like I was in a nightclub on Rush St. I’d go see him play again and again.
Response from Trav P & some:
BLESS YOU and HONORED to PLEASE YOU🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Travis is a pleasure to work with, not only is he a very capable musician with a wide repertoire, he is easy to get along with and VERY positive. Travis will bring the music and the joy, and leave the drama for someone else. Highly recommended!
Response from Trav P & some:

If you’re looking for a great front man, musician, hype man and just a well-around talent, Travis is your guy! He’ll bring the energy and make you want to get up dance! His solos are fantastic! You won’t have any regrets! Don’t miss out on a great booking!
Response from Trav P & some:
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 BLESSINGS to you and your family as I am honored for your kind words🙏🏽
Trav is an amazing performer and masterful musician! I've heard him perform at several different events and he always brings his best. His playing is skilled and soulful, and he knows how to engage an audience for a captivating performance. Trav is a real pro and I would recommend him to anybody who wants a great evening of music!
Response from Trav P & some:
🙏🏽 BLESSINGS to you Sir 🙏🏽
Travis is one of the most charismatic, kind-hearted, and well-rounded players I've ever enjoyed sharing the stage with. Constantly pushing himself outside his comfort zone and inspiring any player around him are some of his greatest strengths. Clean solos, on-the-fly melodies and phrases, and a heart bigger than his saxophone make him an absolute joy and an outstanding player. Any stage is better with him in it and any group is stronger with him in it. 10/10 performer and a man to be around. He might break out his flashy suits if you let him for a bonus =).

🙏🏽 Very kind as I am honored Sir 🙏🏽
