I got some beautiful shots while playing on a rooftop deck overlooking Petco Park in downtown San Diego. Photo credits: Eeman Minert, MyOwnBeat Photography.

Then I was a featured entertainer for a second straight year for the Bridal Bazaar, San Diego’s biggest bridal show, at the San Diego Convention Center downtown. More amazing shots by MyOwnBeat Photography!

I enjoyed connecting with some movers and shakers in Southern California for this featured interview on me and my business. Based in Los Angeles, this website heard about me and featured me in their March 9, 2021, publication online.

I’m thrilled to be growing my business and get acknowledged like this! If you’re interested, the full article is at https://shoutoutsocal.com/meet-kevin-delmastro-saxophonist-entertainer/.

I had a blast filming a promotional video on the cliffs above Blacks Beach in La Jolla, California! Such a beautiful setting, at sunset, with a drone camera flying around me, capturing the most memorable angles and shots.

After discussing our plan, we got a great angle for the sunset and our photographer, who was not filming, took this gorgeous photo of me, my horn, and my portable amp. Just hook it up to my iTunes, and it’s a party “to go!” I travel light to beach/nature gigs.

I had the honor of playing a unique proposal where the girlfriend surprised her boyfriend at Windansea Beach in La Jolla, California, and got down on HER knee to pop the question. I pride myself on being open minded and I felt excited to be part of a unique experience like this. When she contacted me to play the momentous event, she had specific songs to make the perfect soundtrack, including their favorite romantic song “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. I set up in front of the beautiful decorations and warmed up as I waited for them to show. Finally they came and she led him blindfolded to a spot on the beach right in front of the decor, Marry Me sign, and me… the got down on one knee. He said YES!

After I got to play some more romantic tunes for them at the water’s edge as they took photos.

I love playing proposals, especially when they’re surprises. This one was different. Fernando had called me months ago to play the anniversary party on a yacht with his girlfriend. Then in late September he called to see if I was available to play on the yacht for his marriage proposal to her.

He rented 2 other boats for their friends and family to meet them halfway out in the San Diego Bay. As he surprised her with the proposal on our boat, the other 2 boats were closeby and starting cheering!

To prepare for this momentous occasion, I called Seaforth Boat Rentals beforehand to work out the sound system, get clearance for my instrument and sign their waiver. Fernando and his fiance preferred a formal look and jazz and romantic songs, so I wore my new tux. I felt like a million bucks… and she said yes!
