TOM BRAXTON

Dynamic…Energetic…Charismatic…Warm-hearted…These are just a few adjectives that have been used to describe saxophonist Tom Braxton, whose distinct, melodic sound has been thrilling audiences of all ages from coast to coast and abroad for nearly two decades. This versatile instrumentalist and gifted composer is a seasoned performer who has the amazing ability to “grab the heart-strings” of the audience within the first few minutes of his show; engage them with his exceptional skill, wit, and charm; and leave them astounded, clapping, and on their feet screaming for more! That is why Jazz Review calls Braxton “one of smooth jazz’s most prolific saxophonists!

Braxton's talents as a composer, producer, and arranger along with his versatility as a musician are unquestioned. A virtuoso, he can transition effortlessly between various saxes as well as handle the piano, keys, and flute. You do not want to miss Tom Braxton!
