Photo of Audley Reid Saxophonist Audley Reid Saxophonist "Audley played sax at our drinks reception and honestly, he was such a great choice. Just him and his sax, and the whole room felt warmer the second he started. Guests kept wandering over to listen, and a few came up to ask us who he was. He was super easy to work with too, showed up on time and just got on with it. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada 14th October 2026 Shubham Lad - Corporate Drinks reception Photo of Ralph Russell Saxophone Ralph Russell Saxophone "Ralph was wonderful! Ralph was amazing! He adapted so well to the mood of our party. He was able to play Christmas song lyrics on the screen so we could sing along at our Christmas party. He made the night a hit! He even stayed longer than planned because everyone was having such a nice time. Highly recommend him!" Based in Chicago, Illinois 12th October 2026 Valerie M. - Birthday Celebration Photo of Yuval Agam Yuval Agam "We were in need of a Saxophone player to play along side of us (we're a DJ Company) for a wedding last weekend (09/26) and I came upon Yuval here on Gig Salad. Prior to booking he was responsive in communicating. The day of the event just so happened to be a Nor'Easter on the Jersey Shore but that didn't stop anyone. Yuval made it a point to arrive early and get situated with us. Once the event started, he was amazing. His talent on the Saxophone is unmatched and his energy during the event was equally as amazing. 10/10, I would highly recommend him!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts 10th October 2026 Charles C.W. - Wedding Photo of Serena Bey Serena Bey "Serena was Fantastic. She was very professional and personable. She kept in contact with me throughout the process. She was on time for the event and started promptly at the start time of the event. Without her services, our event wouldn't have been as great as it was. She is an amazing Musician. I would recommend Serena for any event you may have, small or large. Thanks so much, Serena!" Based in Greensboro, North Carolina 22nd September 2026 Kay E - Private Birthday Party Photo of Richard Lilliston Jr Richard Lilliston Jr "I absolutely love listening to him play his saxophone!! I have hired him to play at our special events at work and for my family events. He knows how to create the perfect list of songs to fit your particular event. We love to see him come in the door and hate to see him leave. We sing along we play the instruments that he provides, it’s just a great experience. 10 out of 10 every time" Based in Richmond, Virginia 18th September 2026 Monica Photo of WisehartPiper WisehartPiper "Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed." Based in Boston, Massachusetts 9th September 2026 Joe B - World class pipe band instructor
