Brian Engstrom Sax
For the past three decades Brian has had the good fortune to have played many styles of music with various bands and artists in the Vancouver music scene. From small group jazz and big bands to rock bands, SKA bands and R&B/ Motown horn sections, ‘Big Daddy’ as he’s known to his musician friends, loves to play it all- he’s even backed up an Elvis a few times! Whether it’s a club date, a festival stage, a wedding or a corporate event, Brian’s favourite thing to do is play live in front of an audience.
He plays all genres of music from Tropical & Deep House/St Tropez/Mykonos/Ibiza style, to any form of Top 40!
Taking up the saxophone in school band at 13 years old, Brian found that the instrument quickly captivated him and took up most of his time. He received great encouragement and instruction from his school band director Dave Proznick at Semiahmoo Secondary, a nationally recognized music program that has proved to be the starting ground for dozens of professional musicians and music educators.
In addition to playing with DJ’s, Brian is currently playing with Vancouver R&B / Soul group ‘Souled Out’ and with ‘Feelin Alright’ a Tribute to Joe Cocker.
“It’s a lot of fun playing jamming DJ’s! In music, variety is truly the spice of life and the basis for long and enjoyable relationships with fellow musicians and audiences!”
