About
ME
Greetings! I'm Nick Beltramini, and my journey in the world of music began the moment I first picked up a saxophone 12 years ago. It's been an incredible ride, and I'd like to share a bit of that musical odyssey with you.
​
It all started with a simple but ambitious idea: why not bring together a group of talented local musicians to play the kind of "fun" music that we rarely get to play in a school setting?
​
I vividly recall recording that initial jam session, producing homemade CDs, and hitting the pavement, visiting restaurant after restaurant, determined to secure our very first gig. Admittedly, we faced our fair share of rejections – probably around three thousand of them (haha). But, as the saying goes, persistence pays off.
​
Our journey had its share of milestones: the thrill of our inaugural bar gig, the excitement of performing at our first wedding. These experiences marked significant turning points, and the momentum only grew stronger from there.
​
Over the course of eight years since our very first gig, our musicians have achieved remarkable feats from GRAMMY nominations, to brand endorsements, to world tours with major acts.
​
However, we believe the journey is far from over. Driven by an undying passion for music and a firm belief in continuous growth and innovation, we remain committed to exploring new musical horizons. So, here's to the future, where we look forward to crafting more unforgettable musical moments. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey, and we can't wait to create musical memories with you!
​
Warm regards,
Nick Beltramini and the Band
