Kubiak Groove Brings the energy!

We booked Kubiak Groove for our frat party at UPenn and it honestly took the entire night to another level. From the moment he started playing, the energy in the room completely shifted. People who were just hanging around ended up on their feet, dancing, and fully locked in. It was one of those moments where you realize this is not just background music, it is an experience.

He moved through the crowd, interacted with everyone, and played along with the tracks perfectly. The transitions were smooth, the sound was clean, and the vibe never dropped. You could tell he knew exactly how to read the room and keep things going. Multiple people came up during and after the party asking who he was and how we booked him.

On top of that, he was easy to work with, showed up on time, and handled everything professionally. No stress, no issues, just showed up and delivered.

If you are thinking about booking a sax player for any event, especially a college party, do not overthink it. This was easily one of the best additions we have ever had at a party and we will definitely be booking him again.

Kubiak Groove slayed during our wedding

Joe was literally amazing at our wedding reception at Penn state on Saturday, after originally being hired to play at cocktail our, he was so awesome and bringing the classy and party vibe that he stayed through the whole wedding - helped out during the grand entrance, did some amazing solos to hit songs during dinner while bride and groom were making rounds to tables, kept the dance floor rocking all night long with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and had some killer moves and was amazing at the sax. He was all class but kept the dance floor alive and rocking all night long - and multiple guests asked, “where did you find this guy he rocks!”. Thank you Joe for showing out with the best vibe, making it all about us and the guests but keeping the vibe going when we were talking and taking pics. I highly recommend for any reception or party, pleasure to work with!

5 stars!!

Joe was the saxophonist at our wedding reception, and he made such a lasting impression on us and our guests. We chose him because of his strong reputation, and from the beginning, he was so attentive and easy to work with. He stayed in touch through calls and texts and even took the lead in connecting with our DJ as the wedding approached. I truly appreciated this when things felt overwhelming! He genuinely cared about making our night special, and it showed in every moment. Joe read the room effortlessly and created such a fun, memorable atmosphere. Our guests loved him! My husband and I especially enjoyed not just his incredible musical talent, but also his warm and engaging personality. He was truly a highlight of our wedding day. 10/10!

Sooo much better than we expected

I rarely post reviews, but I have to give credit to Joe -- his personality, his attire, and of course his music were perfectly on point.

I host parties at my home four times each year with 80 to 100 guests each time, and the bar for a quality musician is set high. This guy is talented and knows exactly how to make a good party a great party.

We're already planning to have Joe come back for our next party in a few months. My only worry is the secret will get out, and he'll be overbooked and unavailable for our future parties. But, if you need a classy saxophone player, I am telling you Joe is the man for the job.

Amazing!

Wow! Kubiak Groove was absolutely amazing at our cocktail hour. Everyone loved him and gave so many compliments. He moved around and really set the tone for the evening. We wish we would have hired him to play even longer! Highly recommend! Thank you, again!

What to expect

About

Born in Philadelphia, I began learning saxophone at age 12 under the guidance of my father, an exceptional musician and mentor. I was further trained and inspired by the late Jimmy King and Ray Kubiak, whose talent and discipline shaped my sound and style.

Over the years, I’ve performed in a wide range of settings, including marching with the Philadelphia Mummers, playing with gospel groups, sitting in with Texas bands, and delivering solo performances for private events, weddings, and venues across multiple states. My musical journey began back in the early 2000's with school ensembles, pit orchestras, and jazz bands, eventually growing into a lifelong passion for performance, music theory, and improvisation.

Whether I’m playing smooth jazz, gospel, R&B, classics, or modern requests, I bring reliability, professionalism, and a deep love for the craft.
And yes — I’m proud to say I’ve never had a noise complaint to this day.
