The Sax Maniacs are a five piece band that performs regularly around the Detroit area performing classic rock, funk, soul, oldies and new covers from current artists. Our style is a cross of beatnik type super cool SAX numbers like Peter Gun, Honky Tonk and Summertime to classic rock and Motown hits like Chain of Fools, Mustang Sally, Shotgun and lots of James Brown. We incorporate the swinging sound of the SAX with a jumping rhythm section and Stevie Ray/Jimmi Hendrix type guitar provided by local guitar hero, Steve Dansby. Our vocalist, Ellen Giacobbi, former member of BLUE ROSE, is soooooo dynamic and is a show all by herself. Jon Martin another BLUE ROSE alumni, provides incredible bottom drive that helps Joe Bruglio on the TAMA drums bring the beat to new heights of excitement.

Our dynamic vocalist Ellen is a cross between Joplin and Aretha Franklin. She brings a unique presence to the stage. Not one to be shy on stage, Ellen is all over the place. One minute she is out in the audience and the next she is hanging over Steve as he rips another solo out. Ellen's vocals are strong and to the point. It may be Madonna or maybe some Motown, either way it's unique and kicks butt!
