Solo artist with a unique ability to delight any audience! My saxophone artistry, buttery-soft vocals and professional backing tracks separates me from all the others!
I play two 90-minute sets with only one break. There are no gaps between songs. I sound like a 5-piece band, but you only pay for 1 musician. It’s a remarkable entertainment value that will have your guests talking about your event for months! Call now to make your special event even more memorable!

September 3, 2023I hired Tony Merlo back in January 2,2021 to come perform for my husband’s casino birthday party for guests as they arrived and Entire party was mesmerized by the lovely sounds of music 🎼 that Tony played. He interacts with guest and talks to you through the music that he’s playing and knows what to play everything turned out great, Tony is one of the best you can’t go wrong. Thanks again Tony see you soon.🎼☺️💜

I deliver top tier service levels by arriving 60 minutes prior to downbeat, appropriately dressed and ready to go. I play two 90 minute sets with only one 10-minute break. There are no gaps between songs for a musical continuity experience unlike any other artist. I play to the room and adjust set lists accordingly. My backing tracks are professionally recorded, live musicians allowing me to sound like a 5-piece band.
Tony is a professional solo artist with over 30 years experience delighting audiences of all ages and in any setting. His soulful sax and buttery soft vocals have been captured on numerous recording environments, soundtracks and special events. Tony has trained under some of the top jazz and R&B artists in the nation while maintaining and developing his own unique style.
I’m fully self-contained for small to mid-size venues like Wineries, Ballrooms and Private Environments.
