"Huge thanks to Jason for putting together a great cover band for some 90s and early 2000s classics! It really made the event special. Jason was very communicative and a good organiser, he also put together a very talented group of musicians with fantastic vocalists who did a 21 song set, which was in itself very impressive."

"I booked MiSax to play a surprise act at my brother's wedding and it was a fantastic decision. He played each speaker in with a song of their choice, which was such a personal touch. Guests were thrilled by the surprise and loved it from the first note. MiSax was professional, relaxed, and adapted effortlessly to every last minute change we threw at him. His playing brought so much energy and joy to the evening. I highly recommend MiSax to anyone looking to make their event extra special!"
