Review: Tony's sound system and accompaniment tracks, professional saxophone skills and his personal warmth combined to make our party a great success. What an honor to have such a talent in the family.
Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played at our wedding celebration party. We hope you enjoyed the party and food with everyone as much as we did. Thank you again for making our celebration extra special with your music.
Tony's music was the HIT of the evening! Everyone attending was impressed by his excellent delivery & versatile music. They all stopped what they were doing & just listened. They would have stayed longer just to hear him play.
Absolutely extraordinary! You are truly a world class musician. Everything from your tone, technique, phrasing, and elegance echoes and exemplifies magnificently the person behind the Sax. Amazing talent mixed with a deep love of God & life can make an instrument come alive and sing wonders to people's souls. Again, such a marvelous sound. What a privilege to have played on stage with a master like Tony Rue. I am looking forward to seeing you live once more.
I have known Tony (TRue Echoes) for well over a decade, and his saxophone playing has never ceased to amaze me. He plays at my church almost every week, and when he's not there, I always feel like something is missing from our band's sound! Tony's playing is always professional, enthusiastic, and sounds GREAT. You name it, he can play it!
Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played at our wedding celebration party. We hope you enjoyed the party and food with everyone as much as we did. Thank you again for making our celebration extra special with your music.
We have been privileged to have Tony Rue perform at a number of our functions over the past year. His performances have been absolutely stunning and are always a highlight of the evening. The quality of his music is superb and his professional style adds a high degree of class to any event. We appreciate his professionalism and that he is completely relilable and always on time. We highly recommend Tony and look forward to his future performances!
Tony has played for us three times over the past two years. He is a very accomplished musician with great musical skill. He has a great "sound". Guy Lombardo would have hired Tony.
This event was a wedding and the music was AWESOME. I have heard TRue Music perform for a wide variety of events and he has played in my band at countless performances. TRue Music is a professional of the highest quality and very versatile in his repertoire. I would hire him in an instant for any event or concert performance.
It is my pleasure to give Tony Rue my highest recommendation as a skilled musician. Nearly every week for the past year, Tony has been playing alto and soprano sax with my small combo band. He quickly proved himself to be an outstanding member of our group, playing his instruments with wonderful tone, feeling, timing and improvisational; and showing excellent overall musical judgment. Also, on numerous occasions Tony has been asked to play unfamiliar music, on the spot, and he demonstrated outstanding sight reading skills. Tony has also proved himself to be trustworthy and highly reliable. I can recommend him with absolutely no hesitation.

I'll be at the place of the gig one hour in advance of my performance to set up and sound checks. At performance time, I will perform controlling my backing tracks from my iPad or iPhone. I may need a 10 minute break in the middle of my performance during which I can if needed play some background music.
Tony has been playing alto saxophone for the past 60+ years. He started at the age of 7 years and was formally trained for first 7-8 years. Upon graduation from college, he had already played in numerous concert and marching bands, usually in 1st chair, and on stage doing various solos and talent shows in some very premier settings receiving 1st place trophy several times. Tony and his siblings played as a group throughout their youth and received the Director’s Trophy from the director of the Inglewood Boys’ Band, Col. Veasy Walker.
After college Tony played solos at isolated events off and on until Kenny G started becoming popular (early 1990s) at which point he purchased a soprano sax and started again to seriously play and perform on both his soprano and alto saxophones. Since then he has performed in several bands including big bands, swing bands and jazz bands and in the praise band at the church where he attends. He has also performed solo gigs at numerous weddings, parties and dinners with attendance at some parties being over 400 people (please see the reviews written about him from his clients – he only started asking for these reviews in the early part of 2010.)
Since the advent of Kenny G, Tony’s passion has been for performing using his saxophones. It is the gift from God that he is most passionate about. He loves to play all kinds of music, old standards, smooth jazz, blues, rock and pop – his repertoire includes some of each. His greatest musical influences are Kenny G, Richard Elliot, Kirk Whalum, Sam Lavine, Boney James and Walter Beasley.
