2023 was a banner year for my business. I traveled to corporate gigs in Los Angeles, Orange County, Pechanga Casino, and other casinos in Southern California, but mostly I played saxophone at a variety of weddings and birthday parties locally in San Diego. Here are some samples of my entertainment: https://youtube.com/shorts/x96JoCUT-vI?si=DqWPqOURLbQ8YjAn

Petco Park and Bridal Bazaar
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!
Feature article
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/.
Beach video
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.
