Our saxophonist, Terry Thomas, was absolutely awesome. His music showcased a wonderful variety of music genre, keeping everyone engaged throughout the event. Beyond his talent, Terry’s personality truly stood out—he was friendly, professional, and a joy to have at the venue. He was also very flexible, moving around the space to accommodate and connect with everyone. He was simply outstanding.

Outstanding!
My family and I went to Austin’s Very Own Saltt where Mr. Terry was headlining. We were not expecting live music but pleasantly surprised! Mr. Terry wowed everyone with his R&B covers and jazz improv. His double tonguing technique had me speechless.

Amazing!!!
We hired Mr. Terry for my parents Anniversary Event. It was an outdoor venue and it rained!!!! Mr.Terry stayed with us, relocated equipment, and played anyway. It was such a beautiful night, people sang along, laughed, and danced with such joy it was heart warming. We forgot about the rain. I am forever grateful for the memories made that evening and thankful to Mr. Terry for staying! Thank you so much. If you looking to hire a sax player, stop right here and book him!
