Photo of Rad Flute Rad Flute "RadFlute was wonderful and we made great memories because of her. I love the idea of having live music in an intimate settings, so l hired RadFlute to perform at a small gathering for my mom's birthday. She was quick and responsive in communications. I also loved that she had the flexibility to learn new pieces that are not in her original list. Our event was mixed ages and she even took requests for us from Harry Potter all the way to Frank Sinatra! This made the event extra special."

Based in Albany, California (44 miles from San Jose) San Francisco Theatre Critics Award Circle - Sound Design for “Fahrenheit 451” Photo of Finneas Violinist Finneas Violinist "We hired him for our wedding ceremony, and he did an incredible job! He is super easy to work with and communicate with. He has tons of songs to choose from. He was exactly what we were looking for and he helped bring our wedding dreams to life!" Based in Sherman Oaks, California (293 miles from San Jose) 4th June 2026 Leah - Wedding Ceremony Photo of Dennis Napolitano Dennis Napolitano "Dennis Napolitano was perfect for my Italian Parents 50th Anniversary !!! My family and guests loved his music and singing and he made the evening unforgettable! I would definitely recommend him for your party. Thank you Dennis! You are at the top of my list for future events!" Based in Burbank, California (297 miles from San Jose) Nicole Procopio - Anniversary Party Photo of Anna Mat Anna Mat "We really enjoyed the wonderful variety of music performed by Anna! She played pop, jazz, rock, and classical music with such ease and a big smile on her face. Her backing tracks and sound setup worked perfectly, and she created such a fun and lively atmosphere for everyone. We all had a fantastic time and can't wait to see her perform again!" Based in San Diego, California (417 miles from San Jose) 19th September 2026 Klara Nazzal - Cocktail Party Photo of Paul Wainwright Paul Wainwright "We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Paul Wainright for our business grand opening in Victoria, BC, and he absolutely blew everyone away! From the moment Paul started playing, it was clear we were in the presence of exceptional talent. His saxophone skills are world-class — smooth, soulful, and incredibly dynamic. Whether he was delivering silky smooth jazz standards, upbeat contemporary hits, or energetic dance numbers, Paul's playing was flawless and perfectly suited to every moment of the event. What truly sets Paul apart is his incredible vocal ability and the impressive diversity of his musical repertoire. He seamlessly transitions between genres, keeping the energy high and the crowd fully engaged throughout the entire evening. His solo performances are captivating and intimate, while his collaborative moments (when he brought in backing tracks or interacted with the guests) felt electric and professional. Paul is not only an amazingly talented musician but also a true professional - punctual, personable, and genuinely invested in making our grand opening a memorable success. He read the room perfectly and adapted his set on the fly to keep the vibe exactly where we wanted it. If you're looking for a saxophonist musician (or vocalist) in Victoria, BC who can elevate any event with top-tier musicianship, incredible range, and pure stage presence, look no further than Paul Wainright. We couldn't recommend him more highly - he was the highlight of our grand opening and helped make it an unforgettable night! Thank you, Paul!" Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (770 miles from San Jose) 30th March 2026 Derek & Julie Sanderson
