What the audience said

"An honest, soulful night of music played by the people who helped make it. "

From an audience member Clayton Center,Clayton NC.

“These gifted and talented musicians gave a performance that I will not soon forget. It was as good as any we've attended in NYC back in the day....no exaggeration! Even if you are not familiar with the music of the late David Sanborn, this is in no way a "tribute" band...not even close! These gentlemen have all performed with David Sanborn, some for 10 years, but they are also known for accompanying other great artists as well. The keyboardist, Mark Stephens, has played with Chaka,Diana Ross and is currently with Josh Groban. The drummer, Sonny Emory has worked with Earth, Wind & Fire and is going on tour with Eric Clapton from here. He is a “BEAST”! The bass guitarist, Andre Berry, has followed the style of Larry Graham since he was 9 years old but took his skills to another level entirely. The lead guitarist, Nick Moroch, in his 70's, had us on our feet! THEY WERE ALL AMAZING! Alex Han, young man who played the saxophone is a phenomenal artist. He graduated from Berklee on a full-ride Presidential Scholarship which speaks VOLUMES about his skills. If I closed my eyes while he was playing, I would swear David Sanborn himself was on the stage. He was chosen above several other candidates to join this group, and it was definitely the right choice.”

The Sideguys were a pleasure to present and the epitome of professional musicians at their peak. Even our sound engineers commented that they were some of if not the best musicians we have ever had at our venue.
