I'm Dennison Blackett, and Sax by Dennison brings live saxophone to weddings in Austin and the Texas Hill Country. My sound starts in jazz and finishes on the dance floor. I trained at Berklee College of Music, then spent years in the dubstep and bass music scene playing sax through pedals and live effects next to DJs, including a stage at South by Southwest. I call it organic electronic saxophone: a real horn, played live, that sits right inside a modern DJ set. I've been on stage for twenty years. How couples book me: Cocktail hour. Sixty minutes of live jazz, pop and R&B standards while your guests find a drink and each other. Want a moment to open it? I can lead everyone into cocktail hour with a grand entrance. Reception with your DJ. When the dance floor opens, I play over your DJ's set and move through the crowd. Your DJ keeps the mix. I add the part your guests pull their phones out for. Both. One musician from first drink to last dance. I'm not a DJ, and I don't replace yours. I'm the sax player who makes your DJ sound bigger. Before the day, your DJ and I lock in key, tempo and the big moments: your entrance, your first dance, the song that fills the floor. Nothing gets figured out live in front of your guests. What comes with every booking: - My own sound, with battery power for lawns, tents and rooftops - Full insurance, with a certificate for your venue on request - On-time arrival and attire that fits your day My playing pulls from smooth jazz, R&B, Caribbean grooves and Afrobeats. I'm based in Austin and also play weddings in Boston, Newport, Cape Cod and the Caribbean. Send me your date and tell me about your DJ. I'll tell you if I'm free and what I'd plan for your night.
