Damon Sonnier "My team and I truly enjoyed collaborating with Damon for our client’s wedding reception! He made the planning process smooth and stress-free with clear, timely communication and responsiveness—qualities we deeply value when working with fellow vendors. On the wedding day, Damon was prompt, professional, and brought such great energy to the celebration. I personally loved the music selection—it set the perfect tone for the evening! We’re excited to add him to our preferred vendor list and absolutely look forward to working with him again on future weddings. 10/10 recommend!"

Nate and Chris Jazz "A Masterclass in Professional Saxophone & Performance! If you are looking for top-tier musical professionalism, this is an absolute must-hire. As a retired Army musician with over 30 years of experience, Chris brings a level of discipline, talent, and "class" that is rare to find. His expertise shines through in every note, whether performing traditional jazz, swing, or beautiful holiday classics. Chris’s soulful saxophone work—clearly influenced by greats like John Coltrane—is the highlight of the performance. He is incredibly versatile, having performed at everything from intimate weddings and private parties to military ceremonies and international concerts across the US and South America. What makes this act stand out is the sheer reliability and adaptability. He arrives early, provides professional sound and lighting systems, and is happy to tailor the repertoire to include specific client requests. Whether you need sophisticated background music for a corporate gala or a lively performance for a celebration, Chris delivers a flawless, high-quality show every time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a truly polished, world-class musician!" Based in Kansas City, Missouri (636 miles from Austin) 12th March 2026 Tim Romane - Private Party
