"Dane has been performing for us at Brio Italian Grille on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City most Fridays since June. As General Manager, my job is to make sure our guests are happy, as well as provide value to the restaurant. Dane is my secret weapon; his performances add so much to the environment that nearly all guests want to stay for at least one more round of drinks. Our restaurant wouldn’t be the same without him!"

"One of the most knowledgeable musicians I’ve ever met. I took private saxophone lessons with Dane for a couple months during my senior year of high school and learned more about jazz than I had in many years prior. Recently ran back into him at a gig and he was just as enjoyable as when I had him as a teacher. I would highly recommend that anybody with a love for understanding the art of music check him out."

I've never in my life witness someone playing the saxophone before but when I tell you that this made my entire evening so much more delightful that's exactly what it was. Dane is amazing at what he does he played I will always love you from Whitney Houston for me on mother's Day.. it was requested by my fiance for my mother rest in heaven who's favorite song was that.. if we ever get married I'm definitely going to be hiring him to play.. thank you Dane thank you for being you and thank you for your beautiful talent"

"My wife and I booked Dane for our wedding and we could not have been happier! We did the solo option and he was absolutely incredible. Moreover, he was super easy to work with, which with everything going on for our wedding day, was a really nice touch! He supplied all of his own equipment, was prompt, great at going with the flow, and was absolutely wonderful on the saxophone! I gave him a rough idea of what we wanted him to play and he absolutely hit it out of the park! After the wedding, everybody talked about how great he was! And he even stayed past when we booked him and kept playing all the way through the send off which was super sweet! I can not say enough good things about this guy other than: if you’re looking for someone to book for your event, BOOK DANE!!"

"I hired Dane for my wedding; he performed live music for both my ceremony and my cocktail hour. He was super accommodating, easy to communicate with, and had excellent suggestions for songs. He even went out of his way to learn a special one for the groom and I. The aisle walk could not have been more magical…not only did he play beautifully but his timing was perfect. The cocktail hour was classy and elegant, and the crowd clearly loved him. He is an absolute professional who works hard to make your day special!"
