Lawrence Cohen Saxophone Saxophonist from Melbourne, FL

The live music at your event should transcend the mundane and be extraordinary. Music is a sacred gift to us from the divine, and should be performed with beauty, grace and joy in service to the divine, and also performed with sincerity, healing energy, passion, light and love. Hey there, thanks for stopping by! New to Florida and The Bash, Lawrence is a seasoned, high energy pro of 30+ years. Always sensitive to appropriate volume levels, love to take requests and have your guests smiling and maybe even dancing. A free spirit doing what I love, playing special melodies for special people with a unique, personal style honed over decades of dedication to my craft (I practice a lot) 100% wireless, strolling and interactive with guests on sax and flute with my custom backing tracks. Paired with DJs or with live jazz or pop groups. I have an exentsive repertoire of jazz, old and new pop, Broadway, all the sax classics (Tequila, Baker St., Careless Whispers, Mr. Saxobeat, Pink Panther etc.) international "High society" music, Tin Pan Alley medleys, French and Viennese waltzes, tangos (my wife is Argentinian), cha chas, Polkas etc) music all 100% memorized that delights the widest possible audience. Please check out my videos to see and hear me in action. I come early for events to have plenty of time to load in and set up and solve any unforeseen issues that occasionally occur. I will prepare in advance and play the music you request of me to very best of my abilities. A seasoned, live sax PRO at an event can make a party really take off and make some unforgettable memories for folks. You will have an exceptional experience by hiring me. I was a public school band director and busy freelance musician for the first part of my adult life in the NYC metropolitan area before moving to Costa Rica in 2019. I was in Costa Rica for four years including all through Covid before moving to FL in 2023. I started playing solo with backing tracks in Costa Rica at beachside resorts and clubs, and I now have brought this business to Florida. I have teamed up with an exceptional singer, Ms. Irina Freckle, who is featured along side me in the first video. Please inquire about hiring us as a dynamic musical duo! I require a safe and secure area for performing, at minimum 36' sq. ft area to set up (6' x 6'). A safe and *completely* shaded / covered area (for daytime) out of reach of sun, rain and most wind. Sufficiently clean and flat floor space with no mud or dirt. If the job is at night and the weather is clear, I can often set up outside without a cover, but there should be a plan B for poor weather conditions. If the event is out in the woods or a remote location away from AC power supply available, I have the capability to bring my own battery power pack, but I need to know this in advance and there will be a surcharge. Thanks for stopping by!
