Dan is Awesome

Dan Dunshee was the perfect addition to our function.
From the first message of enquiry, Dan made the whole
Process from booking to event easy and stress free. He was responsive, kept in touch, and our party was fabulous. He arrived early and was set up and ready for our guests. Music choice was awesome, and he was warm and generous with special requests. Looking forward to another opportunity for Dan to entertain our guests.

He was incredible and took our 20’s party to another level!

I hired Dan for my husbands 40th birthday party. It was a 1920’s Speakeasy theme. He was on time and brought everything he needed. He also brought these awesome strobe lights that were so much fun. He came in costume and his talent was noticed all night. I am so thankful I hired him and highly recommend him for any party. He took our party to the next level!

Dan Dunshee is one in a million...

What an enjoyable and heart-warming special performance...and so easily found and arranged long distance... and with no end to this performer's willingness to accommodate any desired details regarding his performance and the event itself.

Dan's participation in this special family birthday event provided not only his wonderful musical talent, but also the added joy from his cheerful presence; his historical insights about the pieces he shared and his caring and engaging personal conversation - all that made for a happy and memorable experience on every level.

As a former sax player himself, the person being celebrated at the party acknowledged the talent and enjoyed - with all - the conversation about their shared passion. The delightful performance by Dan --a complete surprise to the guest of honor-- brought a touching spirit of festivity and a flood of nostalgia to a special home and family-- to those of us present and those united across the miles.
We look forward to the occasion of seeing and hearing him again!

ONE great Sax guy!

As we planned our wedding on a golf course, we didn't even think about the lack of electricity for music. We found Dan on GigSalad and he was not only able to provide our music, but every song I requested using his sax. And, I requested some interesting songs, like Alicia Keyes "Empire State of Mind."

He was great with communication, making sure he stayed in contact with me up until the day of the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better musician!

Dan Made Our Corporate NYE Event A Great Success!

I would give Dan a "15" stars! He is an Amazing Sax Player! Our original performer (a violinist) canceled, so I recommended Dan to our client since I had worked with him previously. He always arrives early, is professional and is an outstanding performer. Since the event was on the Queen Mary, our client wanted a performer that could play cool music from the 1920's through the 1940's to evoke a certain "period" for the first half through cocktails and dinner, and then switch to current dance music for the second half. Dan did an amazing performance that had everyone filling the dance floor and creating a great gala New Year's Eve event for our client! Thank you, Dan!

Awesome Flute and Sax Player!

Dan was great and a pleasure to work with!! We were looking for a Saxophone and Flute player to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and were hoping for a couple of musicians with both a classical and fun/modern portfolio. Dan was perfect! He played both Saxophone And Flute for the ceremony and cocktail hour. His music was absolutely beautiful for the ceremony and a fun party for the Cocktail Hour! He set just the right mood and our guests are still raving about him!

Amazing Sax Player and One Man Band!

If I could rate Dan higher than a 5, I would. Everyone had a great time...even the teenagers! He is not only a talented musician and singer, but also gracious and accommodating. There was not one request that he did not play and he even performed one song twice (by request). I have seen Dan play at the Jazz Kitchen at Downtown Disney and now at our company party. Dan would be a fantastic addition to any party or gathering. This is the second time I have booked him and I highly recommend him!

Wedding Reception with a wonderul Sax performer!

Sax ONE performed at my daughter's wedding reception. We wanted soft, light jazz to accompany dinner and dancing. Sax ONE was perfect! The music was a beautiful backdrop to our venue. Our guests were very complimentary and had a great time dancing to some of the best jazz and top 40 tunes out there! Dan was very easy to work with and did a great job picking music that matched the feel we were looking for, along with playing all our preselected requests. I highly recommend Sax ONE!

You will love him!

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Dan play at our engagement party this past weekend. I could only say that he set the vibe for the whole party, he played beautifully, arrived on time, communicated with me on all the questions I had, and he played all the music I asked of him to play. He has a variety of music to play from and if by any chance the song is not on his list he will learn it and play it for you without hesitation. My fiancé and I look forward in having him again for future events not only because of how he plays but he is such a genuine kind and pleasant man. Thank you so much Dan! It was such a Joy meeting you!

On the day of I e-mailed Dan if we could push back his start time by 30 minutes and he accepted with no problem at all. When it came time for him to start he was amazing!

Accommodating to our needs & Great Musician

Saxophone One, Plus! was the perfect live band for our father's Celebration of Life Reception! We were running short on time and the moment we requested for a quote online through GigSalad, Dan immediately gave us a call to find out all details on what exactly we were looking for in a live band. The moment we answered that phone call all the way up to the end of the event, Dan's willingness to accommodate to what we wanted and his professionalism was what made working with him so easy and efficient. Truly an easy person to communicate with and such a delight to meet. He's an amazing saxophone player too! He also accommodated our request for a guitarist to play some slow blues with him on the saxophone. They created the perfect atmosphere for the reception. Thank you Dan for everything!

Santa Ana Art Walk holds a groove

Saxophone 1 played for the February Art Walk at the Santora Building, just outside Martinez Frame & Gallery where I displayed my fine art photography. This group not only carried the sounds throughout the building beautifully but like the 'pied piper' drew the crowds to it (which also helped give more visibility to my work). It was wonderful to see the crowds enjoy and dance to their sounds, which were varied and appealed to EVERY age group!!
