Additional booking notes
Sax & Soul is a fully self-contained act and can provide professional sound equipment for both our duo and full band performances, including speakers and microphones. We require access to standard electrical outlets near the performance area and a level performance space appropriate for the size of the ensemble.
For larger events where enhanced audio quality is desired, we can coordinate a professional front-of-house audio engineer to ensure the best possible sound experience. Professional stage lighting can also be arranged upon request for concerts, festivals, weddings, and other large-scale events. Both will include an additional cost to cover time and equipment cost.
We are happy to work directly with your venue, event planner, or production team to accommodate any existing sound or lighting systems and can provide an input list or stage plot if needed. Our goal is to make the technical side of your event as seamless and stress-free as possible.
