“Saxual Fulfillment” is what you get when you hear the romantic sounds of Waldo Weathers. On stage he’s the *Da Pope of Funk* when he plays his wind instruments and shares his smooth singing in that deep voice that totally satisfies his audience. When Waldo performs it’s his mission to please everyone who has come to listen.

Who is this *Funk Master* so intent on accomplishing his mission to please his listeners?

Waldo grew up in Kentucky and at twelve years of age, he was called to play with a group in a night club! The Saxman started out with rhythm and blues bands and went on to do Country music and when jumped to Smooth Jazz & Funk! And he also does a little Gospel.

Waldo Weathers was awarded a letter of acknowledgement from the Country Music Hall of Fame for being the First Black Country Sax Player. Quite an honor!

Nioshi Jackson, one of Waldo’s sub drummers said, “It has been an honor and a pleasure. I learned many things from this untapped resource of music history in Nashville. It’s been great to learn from him over the years.”

Waldo’s CDs “Live in Barcelona“, includes the songs “Shaky Ground,” “Cold Sweat,” and “Georgia On My Mind.” His other CD, Waldo the Mix is a great representation of Waldo’s sound.
