The Sax Syndicate

Hailing from diverse musical backgrounds and united by their shared passion for the saxophone, The Sax Syndicate is a dynamic and electrifying octet composed of a five-piece big band style saxophone section accompanied by a full rhythm section. Inspired by the iconic group, Supersax, The Sax Syndicate combines their individual virtuosity to create a seamless blend of harmonies, exhilarating solos, and infectious rhythms. Their repertoire includes jazz compositions and arrangements set in five-part harmony written by the likes of Gordon Goodwin, Benny Carter, Bob Mintzer, and many more.

PARADISEOVERTIME

Paradise Overtime was created in 2022 by musicians Jared Meyer and Anthony Mihaly, using a blend of synths, drums, electronics...really whatever else feels right, to create a unique modern jazz-rock sound that has no limits to what potential creative, emotional or entropic stone that they decidedly tether to and hurl it star-ward. Their second EP 'The One For the Frogs' streaming everywhere.

Tim Gauthier

Eclectic guitarist plays in several area bands, playing rock, blues, funk, country, bluegrass (former Rockygrass guitar champion) and jazz.  He fronts the Tim Gauthier jazz trio.
