Donnie Mercurio - Saxophone
Donnie is a fast fingered saxophonist from Pittsburg who takes no prisoners when on stage. Usually opening the show with a high energy upbeat funky groove, accompanied by the other musicians; once he gets started, “man, it’s hard to stop!”.
Coming from a music oriented family, Donnie started playing at home; then furthered his skills once he got to middle school. (It helps when your Pops is a musician). Once in middle school, Donnie caught the musician’s bug, reading and playing music in jazz, R & B, Latin, and Rock bands.
The original sax player for the band “Special Request”, Donnie has established a very good name for himself; collaborating his skills to play and sound like Jr. Walker, David Sanborn, and Dave Koz. You won’t be disappointed when you hear him play.
