June 15, 2026Absolutely Electric
We hired max for our wedding. He absolutely shredded the saxophone for the first hour of the dance floor. He went above and beyond what we could’ve hoped for. I will forever recommend max for musical needs!

June 9, 2026Best Performer Ever!!!
Max played for 1.5 hours at our cocktail hour and he absolutely crushed it!!! He played his sax alongside many of our favorite pop hits and engaged the audience throughout the event. Max came with so much energy and made our cocktail hour one to remember. From "My Heart Will Go On" to "Sky Full of Stars", he went above and beyond with our favorite songs. I still keep hearing from our guests how amazing Max was - he really elevated every aspect of our cocktail hour. I only have great things to say about Max, his talent, and how easy he was to work with throughout our wedding planning process. I HIGHLY recommend booking Max for your next event!

June 3, 2026Saxophone at our Wedding Reception!
We loved having Max at our wedding reception! We wanted a saxophone to play alongside the DJ, but were dragging our feet in hiring someone amongst all the other vendors in wedding planning. We booked Max last minute (literally 6 days before our wedding) and he was easy to work with! By easy, I mean he did not need much instruction to get the job done (which is a relief with all the other details of wedding planning :) ). He was fun and kept the dance floor going, people loved the energy he brought! Hire Max!

May 21, 2026Outstanding!!!
Max was amazing at our local Memory Cafe today in Chelmsford!! WOW! The crowd loved his music..he played a wide range of songs..everyone's toes were tapping & some even sang along! This was such a happy event made even moreso by Max's expert piano playing and unassuming confidence! We would LOVE for him to return for more!!

December 10, 2025Hire him for your wedding!
Max was an amazing addition to our cocktail hour. Guests absolutely loved listening to him and couldn’t believe he was really playing and it wasn’t a video. He is professional and kind. Hire him!

What to expect
I work with each client to ensure the best possible experience for your event. Keyboards cover an extremely wide range of music, and I'm excited to bring your music to life.
I try to be as much of a chameleon as possible in this way. For a lively, outdoor summer gathering, you could expect plenty of funk, pop, and disco. For more intimate occasions, I stick to jazz standards, showtunes, and popular ballads. With enough advance practice, I can host live karaoke for any songs you would like!
Of course, I come fully prepared for all with all the classic crowd favorite piano jams played at weddings and parties -- "Don't Stop Believin', Bohemian Rhapsody, Piano Man, A Thousand Miles, etc."
I have flexible booking and payment options, and am available for recurring appearances.
About
A former student of jazz fusion artist and Berklee College of Music Professor Steve Hunt, Max performed extensively as a student, and won the Louis Armstrong Jazz Excellence award. Max’s thirst for knowledge and performance blossomed as he graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from MIT, and a Minor in music. Max performed with various combos and student groups, most notably with the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble under Fred Harris. Max appears on the FJE recording of Chick Corea’s first original Big Band composition, “From Forever”. Max spent three years as Orchestral Director of Northeastern University’s “NUStage” student productions, culminating in an original work “The Seven Deadly Sins”. Lessons, tunings, and recurring performances available
Additional booking notes
I need 1 AC power outlet at all engagements to power my microphone.
I need a second AC power outlet for Keyboard gigs requiring amplification.
I have my own speakers and amp, and I can collaborate with other live sound professionals and DJs.
My gear is not waterproof, and I work with clients to plan around weather for outdoor engagements.
