Tom Clark - Saxophone 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Bloomington, IN

Tom is the perfect fit for cocktail parties, weddings, corporate & family gatherings, and all your special occasions. With decades of experience, Tom has enjoyed sharing his passion for the saxophone and flute with audiences worldwide. As one of the premiere woodwind musicians in the US Midwest, Tom has performed with The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Spinners, Doobie Brothers, Barry Manilow, Michael Feinstein, among many other regional and national artists. Whether in front of audiences large or small, Tom will set the perfect mood for an unforgettable event with a delightful mix of pop, r&b, light jazz, and all popular styles.

Tom was/is phenomenal!! Coming from New Orleans and a family of professional musicians our standards are high. Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances my sister who also plays the sax could not attend which placed me in the precarious position of finding someone to replace her last minute.. After researching the back ground of the various artist,I chose Tom . From the beginning to the very end Tom confirmed my confidence in his abilities. He was professional, responsive, accommodating, and more than EXCEPTIONAL in his performance at the wedding venue. The wedding party shared nothing but rave reviews. I have 3 other children that will be getting married and without question my plans are to request that Tom join us again. Thank you Tom for all you did to enhance the atmosphere and personalize our event. Wish you well and look forward to next time

These guys were amazing. My husband, dad and many other people who attended the wedding and are all musicians were so impressed and guests in general keep messaging me saying how great they were! Cannot recommend them enough. I was so excited too because they ended up playing a Sammy Rae song off the playlist I sent them (one of my favorite artists). We had a few of them play our ceremony too and as soon as heard them play something by the Beatles I immediately started tearing up. Get these guys for your wedding or event! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.
