I have hired Peter for 2 events now one that was a Mardis Gras theme and the other was a western theme. He was a huge hit at both! His skill level and talent impressed all of our guests! To be able to play blues on a sax with soul and then the next event transform to play guitar and sing country was pretty amazing to see. Almost as if he were two separate musicians! I'm looking forward to our next event and incorporating his talents! We will definitley be using him again!
Response from Peter Slocombe:
Always a pleasure to work with you Ellice and world class photos at ESphoto if anyone is reading. :)
I've known about Peter for some time through my wedding connections in Santa Barbara but was finally able to bring him on board to perform for a clients cocktail hour. He played a great set of music transversing between his bluesy guitar/vocal and expert saxophone playing. I can't wait to continue working with him in the future and was happy to write him a great review here! Look no further, if you want a diverse experienced professional Peter Slocombe is the right call!
I was recently at a Golden Globe viewing party. My boyfriend and I showed up a bit early - and to our surprise, there was this charming sax player playing some familiar melodies to the side of the snack/drink table.We were both very impressed by his abilities to play any song that the guests would ask him to play (mostly famous movie music melodies; as it was a movie award party) His tone was beautiful - with none of those harsh sounds that I've heard some sax players have! and his pitch was spot on! I'm a vocalist with perfect pitch; so my ears are very sensitive to musicians who play slightly high; or slightly low - and from what I could tell, he was right on pitch! I took a business card; and really hope to see him play more in the future. I plan on hiring him for my upcoming wedding. I would recommend him for any event.
Lovely!! Nice it was a very nice performance!
Peter Slocombe performed solo at my Xmas party this year. He was totally professional. He arrived an hour early to be fully prepared. Once the party got started, he was able to create a really festive atmosphere through some fine music and of course his Saxaphone skills. He performed non stop for about 4+ hours. I would definitely have him come back for my next party. Great choice.
