About me:
Tom Mazzuca started playing sax at age ten. Born and raised in Washington state, his father & uncle (father's twin brother) both played sax.
Tom has been playing professionally for over 40 years. He has recorded, composed & performed with many Northwest artists over the years. 3 time Nominee, 2 time winner; “Best of the Blues” (Sax) Washington State Blues Society.

In 1993 & 1995 Tom was voted "Best In Blues" in the brass/reeds category by the Washington State Blues Society.
He went back to college to study Music Theory & Jazz in 2003-2004, and again in 2006-2007.

He has shared the stage with many bands/musicians; here are a few: The Skatalites, Sam Andrews (Big Brother & the Holding Co.),
Little Bill, Junkyard Jane, Smiling Jack, Tim Turner, Tim Hall, Engine 54, Loose Gravel, Bump Kitchen, Steve Stefanowicz, Kim Archer, Highway 99, Sister Monk,

Tom brings more than just his saxes to a gig/session;
he comes with plenty of energy & love for music that quickly becomes contagious to the others in the band as well as the audience
