What types of saxophone players are available to book?

Whether you’re looking to book a singer, book a band, or book a pianist, it’s helpful to know the different types of artists available — and the same goes for saxophone players.

Solo sax players

A solo saxophonist can play along to a backing track or transfix your audience unaccompanied. With the ability to play a wide range of genres, they can be great additions to smaller events or as background music or to create a lively atmosphere as the main event taking up a regular gig slot at your venue.

Saxophone groups

If you want to capture a larger audience’s attention, sax duos, trios, and quartets can create an engaging sound. Traditional Swing, smooth Jazz, or upbeat Pop and Rock — saxophonists can perform in a variety of styles to suit your venue and the atmosphere you would like to create.

Sax and DJ sets

If your venue is looking for an Ibiza-style saxophone set, we can match you up with vibrant sax and DJ combos. DJ saxophonists bring high energy perfect for house nights, outdoor summer celebrations, and 90s throwbacks. You’ll find many sax and DJ acts provide an interactive experience, getting the audience involved and moving all night long.

How much does it cost to book a saxophone player?

As with booking live music artists, the cost of hiring a saxophonist will depend on a few factors, including:

Their experience: An artist who’s new to the scene may initially charge less while they gain experience, whereas an established saxophonist will usually charge a higher rate for their expertise.
The number of performers in the act: Solo saxophonists will typically charge less than a trio or group.
The set length: Are you looking for a saxophone player to perform a short set to give your venue a unique atmosphere playing background music? Or do you want a group to perform all night to entertain your audience? The longer the set length, the higher the cost.

Bank holidays: You may find that some artists charge higher fees for bank holidays due to the higher demand.
