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!

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!!

Laurie, thanks for letting me be a part of a fantastic rehearsal dinner! What a great setting.
Very well done. Best wishes to your son and daughter-in-law!
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.

John, thanks so much for your kind feedback and for having me come play at Wayward! I look forward to next time! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting you, and your establishment and staff are top notch!
We hired Danny to play his saxophone during our 6 hour event. He played non-stop during the three 1.5 hour seating times! He sounded great. I would highly recommend him.

Thank you Alka for having me play, being easy to work with, and for the kind review! The venue was super cool and it was my pleasure!
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.

Danny is an excellent musician. He played sax, guitar, and keyboard during the evening (we were outside); He played something for everyone’s taste! Everyone enjoyed the event especially because he was there. Thanks, Danny.

Hi Lynda! Thank you so much for having me play for your garden party! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice review as well!
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.

Charlotte, thank you for the opportunity to play your event and thanks for taking the time to post a review here!
I received so much awesome feedback about his talent and his execution. He arrived early and stayed later. He was very open to assisting and followed an awesome structure. In additional, the pieces he selecte and organized to play throughout the event was priceless.

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.
