Overview

I'm a saxophonist who's played in every setting from living rooms to sold-out stadiums around the world with artists like Thomas Rhett, Musiq Soulchild, PJ Morton (Maroon 5) and Khalil Fong (Hong Kong). I've done countless private events from Mar-a-Lago to Doha, Qatar. It's all about catering to the client. I play several common styles of music and can be booked as a solo saxophonist (with background tracks) or combo/band.

I scheduled Mr. Houston to play at my grandmothers memeorial service. I had no idea of what songs I wanted him to play. I told him the kind of music my grandmother loved and from that information he chose the song he would play. Everyone loved his musical tribute as it was perfect for the event and a great way to remember our family matriach.

WilliePalooza Festival: Frank Houston was Excellent!

Frank Houston is an international powerhouse of a Saxophone player and really was so so good at my party! We had 7 bands throughout the day and evening and Frank was gracious enough to perform in the beginning of the afternoon and again in the evening! He was so kind, warm, friendly with our guest and children & on stage he is a professional musician that you would see touring the country with bands or on a late night talk show as part of the ensemble bands! My point? He is the Real Deal! As illustrated in previous reviews his sound brings every song to life alongside the dancing, stage presence & happiness he brought it was enough to bring some partygoers to tears in the best way! Look no further and book this man for your party needs! He is a powerhouse of a performer on Saxophone!!! Thank you Frank from the bottom of my heart and please come back next year.

Excellent Performer

Frank Houston provided the primary music for a wedding and reception I coordinated on yesterday. His performance was excellent. He is obviously a consummate musician. I give much of that credit to the excellent instruction and mentorship he received from James Patterson with the Clark Atlanta University Jazz Orchestra. I had hired another saxophonist for my event but they were forced to cancel. This other saxophonist, however, highly recommended Frank Houston. He described him as his "go-to person." I was definitely not disappointed. Frank is very professional. He arrived on time for the event and even performed an additional song that the groom's daughter wanted to sing to the new couple for their first dance. In addition, the crowd enjoyed his performance so much that they began to sing the song along with his playing. At times, it was more like a concert than a dinner wedding reception. Fran Houston has my highest recommendation.

The most special birthday ever!!!!

I had Frank to come and play his sax for my mom’s 90th birthday. Mom wanted so badly to do something fun, but she was concerned with Covid at her age. I had suggest that Frank play in my parents garage. His first impression was wonderful. He was dressed nicely, had a warm smile and wished her a very happy birthday. He played a few more songs than we had agreed which was such an awesome bonus! He finished it off with happy birthday! He made her birthday so very special! I would 100/100 recommend Frank to anyone!

What to Expect

I/we will arrive at a reasonable time with all necessary equipment needed for performance unless otherwise agreed upon with client. For solo sax bookings, I will play along with background tracks to maintain a full ensemble sound and feel. I/we will dress appropriately for the specific type of event. Client and guests are welcome to take pictures and videos of the performance. For performances longer than one hour, I/we will take reasonable breaks (e.g. 2 hr booking = 10-15 min break, 3 hr booking = two 15 min breaks) unless other arrangements have been made with client. The most important thing is that the client is happy!

About

Composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Frank Houston Hayes has gained experience within all major genres of American music, including jazz, pop, country, R&B, rock, gospel and hip-hop, among others. In his developing career, he has been fortunate to work with international award-winning acts, including Thomas Rhett, Musiq Soulchild, George Duke, PJ Morton, Khalil Fong and many more.

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Frank began playing his primary instrument, the saxophone, in elementary school. In middle school, he was introduced to jazz and quickly developed a deep passion for the genre. During high school, in the marching and symphonic band, he began playing the euphonium, which temporarily became his main instrument.

Frank attended Clark Atlanta University (CAU), where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business management. After nearly a two-year hiatus from the saxophone, Frank decided to join the CAU Jazz Orchestra. It was during this time when he decided to pursue a career in music, and also to pledge Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America, Inc. For two consecutive years, he auditioned and was selected from a HBCU-wide audition to be a member of the African-American Jazz Caucus’ HBCU All-star Big Band. The group performed in Toronto at the 35th Annual International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) Conference, the Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival, and the Schomburg Center in Harlem, New York.

Since his college years, Frank has toured nation-wide and recorded with R&B/soul icon, Musiq Soulchild. He has also performed and recorded in Hong Kong with Mandopop superstar, Khalil Fong. Additionally, Frank has had opportunities to perform on nationally-televised shows such as, Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The AMAs (American Music Awards), CMA (Country Music Association) Awards, Soul Train Awards, The Ellen Show, Today Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Originals, Braxton Family Values, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Married to Medicine. In 2014, Frank learned to play the trombone and has since performed as a trombonist with artists such as Lyfe Jennings, even opening for Pitbull (with A-town A-list) at the 2016 San Luis Salute in Galveston, TX.

A jazz lover at heart, Frank released his first album entitled, “First Hand” in 2016. The instrumental jazz album consists of nine original compositions, featuring some of the most renowned, accomplished and respected Atlanta-based musicians. The album is available on iTunes and all other major digital music outlets.

Most recently, Frank has toured internationally with country pop superstar, Thomas Rhett. He is also fortunate to have recorded on Musiq Soulchild’s album, “Feel the Real”, which was nominated “Best R&B Album” for the 2018 Grammy Awards.

Frank is a Cannonball Saxophones Artist.
