Sam Keily Live Piano & Saxophone Music for Weddings, Corporate Events, and Private Parties

Performance space requirements are minimal and flexible depending on the event. For piano performances, I can perform on an acoustic piano provided by the venue or bring a professional digital keyboard if needed. For saxophone performances, I require access to a standard power outlet for amplification. A small performance area and nearby parking or loading access are appreciated for equipment setup.

Helpful information includes parking or load-in access, performance location within the venue, availability of power outlets near the performance area, and whether an acoustic piano is available if requested. I also appreciate knowing the event schedule and general atmosphere so the music can be tailored appropriately.

Yes. I provide professional sound equipment suitable for most small to medium-sized events. All saxophone performances are amplified, and I can provide sound reinforcement for keyboard performances when needed. For larger venues or outdoor events, coordination with the venue’s sound team may be recommended.

Yes. I’m happy to provide background music between sets or before and after performances when appropriate. Music can be selected to match the style of the event or coordinated with client preferences to maintain a seamless atmosphere throughout the event.

Setup is typically quick and efficient. I usually arrive 60–90 minutes prior to performance time to allow for sound check and setup, ensuring everything runs smoothly before guests arrive. Performance formats are flexible and commonly include multiple shorter sets throughout an event (such as cocktail hour or dinner music) or featured performances ranging from 45–90 minutes. I’m happy to adjust timing to best fit the flow of the event.

Yes, I’m happy to perform outdoors when weather and conditions allow. A shaded or covered performance area, a flat and stable surface, and access to power near the performance space help ensure the best sound quality and protection for instruments and equipment.

Absolutely — client input is always welcome. I work closely with clients to tailor the music to the style and atmosphere they’re looking to create. Specific song requests can often be accommodated in advance, and I’m also happy to curate the music based on the event if clients prefer a hands-off approach.

“Blown away! Sam was able to recreate my dream from two TikToks I sent him. Everyone complimented the music, and he truly listened to all of our requests. I would absolutely book him again.”

“If you are considering Sam, just do it! We hired him to play saxophone during a dinner for my parents’ 40th anniversary, and he blew it out of the water. The family hasn’t stopped talking about him. Extremely talented, professional, and timely—it’s amazing that someone so young has already mastered his craft at this level.”
