About Kevin

For your saxophone needs, I provide smooth jazz, classic jazz standards, pop tunes, and background music tailored to suit any occasion.
Tenor Saxophonist
Norwich

Having recently relocated from Staffordshire to Norfolk, I bring a wealth of musical experience, ranging from playing lead Alto and 1st Tenor sax in Big Band and Quartet performances to solo engagements. Whether you are planning a wedding, a reception, or a corporate event, I am prepared to tailor the musical atmosphere to perfectly suit your occasion. With a professional collection of backing tracks at my disposal, I can accompany a wide variety of musical styles and moods, ensuring a versatile and engaging performance. My background in army music has afforded me the opportunity to play with some exceptional Big Bands, and I am currently an active member of two distinguished ensembles based in the Norwich area. In addition to my band commitments, I regularly perform solo sets at Number Seventeen in Aylsham, a venue known for attracting enthusiastic and appreciative audiences. This ongoing engagement has honed my ability to captivate and entertain diverse crowds. I am in the process of compiling show reels that will showcase my range and style. Please keep an eye out for these upcoming releases, which will provide a deeper insight into the quality and breadth of my performances. I look forward to the possibility of bringing memorable live music to your next event. I offer a friendly and relaxed performance style, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere for your event.

We saw Kevin playing an afternoon Christmas smooth jazz set with classic Christmas tunes, and it was fantastic. His musicianship is top-tier, and his eclectic playlist kept everyone entertained the whole time. We’ll definitely be attending his next performance — and many more after that!
