Piano & Sax Duet For All Occasions
DoubleSharp is a professional two-piece jazz & blues group who have been fortunate to perform at a number of public and private venues around the Okanagan since 2014. DoubleSharp is ideal for small-to-medium venues that needs enjoyable atmospheric music. DoubleSharp has reasonable rates and we have our own professional quality sound equipment.
David (keyboard) and Curtis (tenor saxophone), who call themselves the Double Sharp Duet, gave us a wonderful evening of jazz standards and classics. Our guests all enjoyed themselves, and the backdrop of the lake and a beautiful evening sky was a perfect accompaniment to the music.
Double Sharp Duet put on an amazing performance for our wedding ceremony and reception. They arrived on time, set-up and were ready to play the songs we'd picked for the ceremony. It was really perfect, just beautiful! Couldn't have asked for better music. Following the ceremony, they set up inside for the reception and our guests thoroughly loved their music during dinner and for dancing afterwards. I would highly recommend this Duet! Really two first class musicians! Thanks again for everything Double Sharp!!!
We all were amazed at how able they were to play jazz music that was accessible and danceable. We had so much fun. Their versatility was amazing. We certainly would hire them again

We can work with your event planner as needed and will be professional and courteous. We kindly ask for access to an loading/unloading zone for load-in/load-out.
