I am a steel drum player and composer with 35 years of experience performing for all types of events and special occasions. My wife, Erica, and I perform over 120 songs with a Caribbean island feel including all the calypso favorites.
In addition, I can also tailor our musician to fit your event. I perform with professionally recorded background tracks.
Was the perfect entertainment during our happy hour for our community luau. He communicated well during the booking process, arrived promptly and even stayed to help out the hula dancers when their sound system quit working. His music entertained while people were in line to get in and set the tone for a very fun luau. I would have no hesitations in booking him again!
Response from Tropical Shores Steel Drum band:
Karen was the perfect host, making sure that I had everything I needed. Everyone at the luau was extremely nice. I hope to serve Karen and her group in the future.
