Elegant, atmospheric live saxophone that sets the tone before a word is spoken.
Richie performs soprano and tenor saxophone live over high-quality backing tracks — a self-contained setup that delivers a polished, professional live music experience without the logistics of a full band.
Solo saxophone is ideal for any part of an event where the music should feel present but not intrusive. It creates warmth and atmosphere without overwhelming conversation — and it's especially loved for ceremonies, drinks receptions, and wedding breakfasts.
Two 45-minute sets as standard, with additional time available on request. Richie will discuss your preferred tracks in advance and can accommodate specific requests — including learning a special piece for the occasion.
