September 14, 2016Fantastic!!
Rich Sax and his keyboard accompanist, Johnny, were Fantastic! Rich was more than helpful in working with me to plan the evening's entertainement - a private dinner for 13 at a hotel wine cellar. His singing and personality helped make the entire evening work - he was totally flexible with timing, song selection - and acted as our emcee as well. I would not hesitate to recommend him!

Rich and his fellow performers provided music for a 50th Wedding Anniversary party this summer and it went off without a hitch! Rich was very professional, thorough, immediately responsive to communication, and did his very best to make the night special. Highly recommend!

Rich sax and his group were absolutely fantastic. I couldn't have been happier. Besides being great entertainers, they are great people and every aspect was handled with the utmost professionalism. I couldn't recommend them any more highly.

March 20, 2015Rich Sax is a Great Performer
Rich Sax and his band truly capture the spirit of Sinatra and other musicians of that golden era of music. To listen to Rich is to travel back in time and enjoy for a memories of a day when great music filled the air. Rich's special ability to connect with his audience, interact with them, and make them feel special, has made his performances a memorable event wherever he performs. Thank you Rich for many nights of great times, memories, and family fun. Keep the tradition going!

November 25, 2013Book him!
Rich and his keyboardist were the perfect match for my surprise marriage proposal. They sounded great and they made the evening fun, exciting, and romantic…. Just perfect! Prior to the surprise, Rich put my mind at ease because he was always in contact and I had no doubt that he would be there on time and deliver the performance that I needed. He was so easy to work with and he gave me some great suggestions when it came to choosing just the right songs. They went above and beyond to help make the surprise a success. They were literally like ninja musicians the way they set up their equipment in near silence and darkness! I can’t say enough good things about them, so give Rich a try because I don’t think you will be disappointed!
