About
Captain Sax is a DJ and saxophone duo for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
A DJ set with a live saxophone over the top changes the feel of a party fast, and that's the whole Captain Sax trade. Dave has close to 2,000 gigs behind him and shifts style to suit the brief: smooth lounge sax for cocktail hour, electro swing for a Gatsby theme, full epic sax territory once the dance floor fills. Before the event you'll be asked for a music brief, with the option of a Spotify playlist, and those tracks are downloaded and ready on the day. Solo, he needs just four square metres and a power point; larger versions add vocals, percussion or violin. All performers carry public liability insurance.
Watch
The show
Dave, otherwise known as the Captain, has close to 2,000 gigs on him, and it shows in the unglamorous parts: turning up on time, dressed properly, easy to deal with. Your artist will be in touch beforehand about arrival, load in and setup so you know the plan. Then there's the actual performance, which is live sax over a DJ set and tailored to what your event needs. Expect a few big moments that guests bring up long afterwards.
On the day
For the solo show, four square metres and a reliable power outlet will do it. Add a percussionist or vocalist and you'll want a bit more room, though no venue has proved too awkward yet.
Performance options
Book Dave solo on DJ and sax, or as a duo. The bigger version adds vocals, percussion or violin, which lands you a duo or a trio depending on how many you want up there.
