5/5 from 401 reviews
Photo of Elite Duo – Vocals & Saxophone Elite Duo – Vocals & Saxophone "I had the pleasure of seeing this talented duo perform at a private party, and I have to say, they were absolutely fantastic! The combination of vocals and saxophone was just beautiful — smooth, elegant, and so easy to listen to. The singer had such a lovely voice, and her performance was incredibly polished, expressive, and effortless. The saxophonist sounded amazing as well, with such a warm, rich tone that complemented her voice perfectly. You could really tell how well they worked together. What I especially appreciated was their choice of songs — a really tasteful mix of music that created such a lovely atmosphere without ever being overpowering. Everything felt natural, classy, and just right for the occasion. It was one of those performances where you could simply relax, enjoy the music, and appreciate the talent behind it. Such a great experience overall, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these two to anyone looking for beautiful live music for a wedding, private party, or any special celebration. Really lovely musicians and a wonderful duo!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 4th November 2026 Steve - Private event Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!"

The music added the perfect touch to our special day. Highly recommended!" Based in Centreville, Virginia, United States (1,955 miles from Calgary) 17th September 2026 Sue - Private Wedding Photo of John Anthony Ferrer John Anthony Ferrer "I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you."

Typical bookings for bossa nova bands include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding drinks receptions, restaurant entertainment, garden parties and any event where sophisticated, mellow background music is desired. Bossa nova's gentle rhythm and warm melodies create a refined, welcoming ambiance.

Many bossa nova bands can perform acoustically for smaller, intimate settings. For larger venues or outdoor events, a small PA system is typically used. For the best experience, discuss the venue with the band to determine the best setup.
