Steve Arvey and the Saxtelles

About Me

Driving hard Saxophones set over great 50's style Rock grooves Swinging and Funkin with some Blasting Vocals from Steve Arvey.


For Immediate Release
Warner Recording artist Steve Arvey put this unique group together in 2005. Steve Arvey a 30 year Veteran of the Chicago music scene has assembled this great group of musicians and has worked hard on developing this new "Wall of Sound" "I really got tired of all the bands with guitars blaring away" says Arvey. "I wanted to create a new sound that blends the old 50's and 60's sound with a contemporary twist" Steve started the concept of using female saxophone players on his last tour of England. I had these two girls come up on stage and play horn lines with me and the crowd loved it!! I used them on another gig in Wales and it started a whole new concept musically for me. It took a while to find a good group of female saxophone players in the Chicago area but I have a great band now!! The Saxtelles Mix Swing, New Orleans R&B, 50's Rock, Soul and Jazz to create a sound that people from 8 to the age of 80 will enjoy.
Make sure you make it down to one of these shows It will be a refreshing new sound of music!!
