Overview

Hello! My name is Danny Boylan and I am a saxophonist in Gainesville, GA. I provide tasteful, professional, reliable, and affordable live saxophone music for private events and venues. I offer the sound and feel of an intimate, professional jazz combo (or classical setup) without the cost or space requirements. Please view my video clips for actual performance examples, but I play professionally recorded background music through my PA system while performing live saxophone. I strive to provide you with exactly what you are looking for and offer many different styles and genres, so please peruse my video samples and then reach out and let me know how I can help!

One word - FANTASTIC

Danny is phenomenal. He had all of our guests asking about him. He can play such a variety of different genres that suited all of our patrons. The people picking up take out orders lingered for a couple of songs & commented on how superb he is...We at Kitchen Six wholeheartedly agree & can't wait to have him back!

Danny Is Awesome!!!!

I hired Danny to play at my dads 50th surprise birthday party, and he was absolutely amazing. I told him genres and people my dad (who plays a little sax himself) loves, and he put an awesome hour of music together! Most importantly- my dad loved it! Danny was on time for the event and very easy to work with through the booking process. If you are looking to book a talented sax player, Danny is definitely your guy!!

Perfect musician for the event

I helped arrange the background music for my friend's rehearsal dinner for his son. Prior to the event, Danny was very responsive and flexible for our needs. Although his price was higher than the original budget, it was far less than many other quotes that I received. We listened to the music samples available to make the final decision to hire him, and it was definitely the best decision we could have made! During the event, I heard so many people, including both dads of the couple to be wed and the groom, compliment the music and musician at the event. I would definitely hire Danny again and recommend him very highly to others who enjoy jazz music.

A Breeze to Work With

I utilized Danny's services during a work function and was amazed at how flexible, collaborative and talented he was! He played guitar, saxophone and sang original arrangements as well as jazz arrangements of popular songs with a pianist. The crowd was entertained and delighted, bringing the atmosphere of the event to a whole new level and making for a very successful day. I will certainly use Danny's services again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

A real asset to enjoyment of our party

We engaged Danny to provide background music in our home for a party of about 60 persons - and wound up being very pleased with that decision. Everyone enjoyed an atmosphere significantly enhanced and enlivened by his playing live saxophone with backup recorded music. It was so easy to work with him in selection of music and set-up. He has a wide-ranging repertoire and the equipment for versatile/adaptable set-up. Danny is a very amiable guy, and it was obvious that his objective was to please us and be an asset to the party. He was. He adapted easily to the flow and provided background music with one period of focused listening (which we requested). He is a talented musician, a pleasant personality for a social occasion, and we would recommend him for any event, smaller or larger than ours, for which live music would add value and enjoyment.

What to Expect

When you hire me for an event I will show up approximately 1 hour early to set everything up and do a sound check. If you already know exactly where you want me I will set up there, or I can make recommendations based on the venue. I always want my clients to give me feedback in regards to the overall desired volume, which I can vary depending on area size and number of guests. I have played everywhere from intimate restaurant settings to home living rooms to large venues, so I can be very versatile. My setup includes just myself and a small PA system and I can truly fit almost anywhere.

About

I am a lifelong musician offering high-quality, intimate jazz or classical saxophone music for North Georgia and Greater Atlanta. I am available for corporate events, private events, weddings, restaurants, and venues. I studied music at The University of Texas at Austin and have been everything from a solo acoustic guitar cover song performer to a drummer in a Beatles cover band. My diverse history allows me to choose from multiple instruments and genres in giving you exactly what you are looking for in a musical experience. I pride myself in providing superior customer service, communication, and reliability.
