Radio Prophets

Radio Prophets played our wedding. Gerry was great to work with and got our vibe and the type of music we wanted exactly.

They also did all of the sound for the ceremony and speeches during dinner. They had a jazz quartet for cocktail hour and then a 6 piece band for the reception.

The band was amazing! They played everything from oldies, Motown to top 40 hits. All of the musicians were incredibly talented and so nice too. The vocalist was especially incredible! Overall, they brought an incredible energy and made the reception a blast!

I'd highly recommend Radio Prophets for any event and especially for a wedding

DUDE!!! Talk about WOW factor!!! Gerry Smith is a 1-man party and honestly his videos don’t even do justice to the MASSIVE difference he makes on the dance floor and throughout the wedding day.

Don’t make the dumb assumption (like I did) that live Sax was a novelty add-on to a DJ set. I could not have been more wrong! When you have player of Gerry’s caliber, you have a profoundly elevated night wherever he is involved.

Gerry will belt iconic melody lines for razzle-dazzle performance moments (and has a whole list of Sax anthems for his couples to choose from) and expertly riffs along with the DJ set. He accentuates the tension of DJ transitions, adding drama to song builds and utterly shredding solos during drops. And the whole dance floor gets a close-up of the experience, because Gerry is out jamming with the guests 101% of the time, bobbing among social bubbles and patrolling dance circles like he’s a boxing ref.

Gerry’s interactive, dynamic performance does not merely add to the vibe, it multiplies it by a THOUSAND and teleports the dance floor to the 5th dimension. He really is that good, and I say that in unanimous agreement with the Bride, the Groom, and every last guest that partied like crazy last Saturday. After 3 hours of dancing, we were sweaty and smiling, having been sated by the scintillations of his righteous bellows.

“But what about the other parts of the day? Sure, he’s one of the best (or the best) wedding sax players in Santa Barbara (or in the country) when it comes to the dance floor. But I want sultry sax vibes for cocktail hour. Can he do that?”

UHHHHH, YEAH. For our cocktail hour, Gerry cast another teleportation spell, transposing all 150 guests to a 1940s New York lounge, sandwiched in between Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and a stiff martini. Justin Bieber was there too, because Gerry took multiple well-known pop songs and performed his own jazzy renditions of them that perfectly blended with the classic cocktail vibe. I mean, the guy is a MASTER at what he does.

If you can believe it, there’s one more BIG thing that sets Gerry apart - he is the sax player you want for custom moments. For the Bride and Groom’s grand entrance, Gerry played the emotional, powerful sax line to Jubel, timing his riffs with the MC announcement to etch a peak moment into the unforgettable memory of a perfect day.

That quality, more than anything else, is why I think he’s the best Saxophone player I’ve ever seen. Beyond the legendary dance parties, on top of the musical adaptability, exists a willingness and desire to go above and beyond for the Bride and Groom. He lends his full self to the make the Bride and Groom’s wildest dreams come true, preparing extensively and executing flawlessly, while fully dedicated to the couples’ vision.

Not only is that rare, it’s practically one-of-a-kind.

Gerry is the BEST! Hands down the best sax player we could have asked for for our wedding. He kept the energy high all night long and completely transformed the dance floor. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's also so much fun. He was out on the dance floor with our guests, playing alongside everyone and creating such an interactive, unforgettable experience.

The song selection was perfect, and every set had people dancing. Our guests are still talking about him! On top of that, Gerry was amazing to work with leading up to the wedding. He was professional, responsive, accommodating, and made the entire process easy and stress-free.

If you're considering hiring a saxophonist for your wedding or event, stop looking and book Gerry. He was truly one of the highlights of our wedding day! 🎷✨💃🕺

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Radio Prophets was hands-down one of the best decisions made for our wedding. They kept the dance floor packed all night, brought incredible energy, and made the experience so interactive, especially when Gerry joined the dance floor with his saxophone! What truly set them apart was their willingness to learn 10 new songs specifically for our wedding to match our musical taste. Not only that but my dad wanted to sing a Beatles song for me, and the band learned the song and were his background vocals. That level of dedication and personalization is rare and meant so much to us. Our guests are still talking about the band weeks later and telling us how much fun they had. The music was phenomenal, the energy was contagious, and they helped create memories we'll cherish forever. I cannot recommend these guys enough. You will not regret booking them. They are worth their weight in gold and were one of the very best investments we made for our wedding!! Love love love them!

Radio Prophets delivered an awesome performance. Great energy and a fantastic night.

The band and sax player were amazing! They engaged our guests and everyone thoroughly enjoyed dancing and celebrating our Special Day! Very professional from their attire to their equipment set up and stage presence! We were actually saranaded by the very talented sax player who also saranaded our guests! They loved it! We felt very lucky to have found and hire this band! It was well worth it! Even our parents got out and danced to the great music! We strongly recommend The Radio Prophets!!!

I hired Gerry and his band Radio Prophets for our annual company party in 2023-2025 and will do so again in 2026!
The energy this band brings to the dance floor is
Off the charts! Horn section and vocalist are top notch - bass player and drummer first class! They go out in the Audience and just get this party going! Hire them - you won’t regret it!

From the ceremony to the reception, every moment was elevated by their talent and professionalism. The pianist during the ceremony created such a beautiful, emotional atmosphere. Cocktail hour flowed seamlessly with the Jazz Quartet — sophisticated, smooth, and perfectly timed. Then the Radio Prophets Band took it to the next level with phenomenal vocalists and a powerful horn section that kept the energy high and the dance floor full. Truly versatile, polished, and exceptionally talented musicians from start to finish.

We hired the Radio Prophets for our wedding in Paso Robles and they were fantastic! We got nothing but compliments from our guests about the energy they brought to the party. ("They've set the standard!" was my favorite.) They had a good mix of instruments and a fantastic vocalist. My now-husband is an amateur musician and wanted to play a bit, and Gerry was kind enough to share some charts with him a few weeks ahead of time so he even got to play with them for a couple of songs. He stunned everyone and it was one of the most fun parts of the wedding. We would absolutely recommend them!

Exceptional from cocktail hour through the final song. Band Director Gerry Smith was a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with — thoughtful, organized, and deeply attuned to the overall experience. Cocktail hour was beautifully executed, setting a refined tone for the evening.

When the reception began, the band delivered a flawless performance. Gerry’s saxophone work was outstanding, complemented by an extraordinary trumpet and trombone player and a powerful bass line. The musicians seamlessly moved into the audience, creating an immersive, high-end performance that felt both dynamic and sophisticated.

If you’re looking for a band with elite horns and exceptional musicality, this is an easy and confident choice.
