Perfect for our event

Red Light Roxy was perfect for our Roaring 20’s benefit fund raiser. From their attire to the music, they helped make our guests feel like they stepped back in time. Their volume was perfect, too. Guests could talk to each other at the table and could hear each other!
Thanks for a great night.

Classy. Sassy. And Jazzy

Upon their arrival one knew the level of specialness of the event went higher. Gracious, engaging, with the necessary touch of humor, these professionals could not have been better. Their music was magical. They’re interpretation of the songs was way above the norm. Close your eyes… and you think you’re with Count Basie. Thank you for EVERYTHING!

Excellent musician! Highly recommend

It was a pleasure to have Dave from Red Light Roxy play solo saxophone for our holiday party! His music added so much to the evening. Our guests enjoyed his music and we received compliments all night long. Dave is very talented, professional, and very easy to work with. A highlight of the evening was when Dave played Jingle Bells and our 11 year old nephew followed along on his saxophone. He had only been playing for 2 months and Dave helped him sound like a pro! He also gave him some great pointers. Dave went above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommended

While the full band would have been too large for our event, we were able to book three members of Red Light Roxy to form a jazz trio (sax, bass, piano) for our firm’s holiday cocktail reception. The trio provided a full array of music, receiving many compliments from those in attendance. Dave Sterner, the group’s contact, is a true professional in all respects. He listens to client needs, and is responsive, reliable and flexible. As an Event Coordinator, I highly recommend working with Dave and Red Light Roxy to plan your next event. Not only are the musicians in this group talented, they are a pleasure to work with.
