I can't say enough good things about this group. Lightning Jack and his band really made my husband's 50th birthday party special! They are great entertainers and I would highly recommend them for your event.

I have never gone on Gig Salad before and was surprised by how easy it was. We listened to the demos of Lighting Jack and we liked him and picked him for our event. We were having an opening of our Woman’s Exhibit and he was such a professional and he read the room (patio) and was perfect the entire time. He made the event so special and will use him again when we get a chance.
Caribbean/Island Music, Steel Drum Player
Great selection of songs, and the band always kept the volume in check. Also, the group was punctual and very easy to work with.
Calypso Band
Jack was awesome, perfect one man band for our party. We will be using him again in the future!
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music, Singing Guitarist
Lightning Jack was more than accommodating. The wedding ceremony was supposed to be on the beach but at the last minute the weather caused us to have to abandon that idea and move to an indoor location. Lightning Jack relocated with us and was set up and playing when I got there. I would highly recommend him not only for his talent and sound quality but for his willingness to do his part to make your event successful and special. Thanks Lightning Jack for your efforts and patience!
Caribbean/Island Music, Steel Drum Player
Lightning Jack was a beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony. He set the mood and played beautiful music while guests were getting seated. Then played the wedding march for my dad and i to walk down the isle and it was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely use him again and suggest him for everyone to use when looking for a steel drummer.

We were satisfied with his performance..

Lightening Jack did a fabulous job at making sure that when he couldn’t be at the party his friend could be there to fill in. They were both really great musicians and were fantastic and setting up smoothly and taking down easily. Everyone loved them! Thank you so much for a super grad party!
Steel Drum Player
Jack was great, easy to work with. He arrived on time, set up his equipment seamlessly & played for 2hrs. He was a wonderful addition to my mother’s birthday party. His music on the steel drum created a fun relaxing vibe, which made the whole event come together. I would definitely recommend & hire him again!

Lightning Jack was a really great addition to our annual company spring party.
Steel Drum Player
Jack took our requests and played them perfectly along with playing our first dance song (original version - not steal drums) and then gave us the best reception music! He was professional and patient...even waiting a week for payment - our mistake.
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music, Steel Drum Player
Jack was great! He exceeded our expectations and will definitely hire him again!
Caribbean/Island Music
Jack was great. He was punctual and set up quick. He played the drums beautifully and you could actually tell what songs he was playing. A true artist. All the other beach goers seemed to enjoy it as well. I would definitely use him again.

Jack was TOPS! He arrived well in time to set up his equipment and was ready to start spot on time. He was very flexible &accepted some requests and played them flawlessly! He has a great friendly, professional, approachable attitude and our staff and residents are still talking about the great atmosphere he helped to create. We sill certainly book him next time we need that type of music! Thank you Lightning Jack :)
Steel Drum Player
Having jack play for a few hours at my moms 70th bday really elevated it to a whole other level. It would not have been the same without him. So glad we chose jack! Highly recommended. Our family is a little party nuts and he knew just what to play!
Steel Drum Player
We will book him again...great guy. He fits into any setting, on time, prepared and accomadating.
This is the guy you want for large or small functions.

with Lightning Jack McGivern! We hired Jack to play @ our mobile park's July 4th celebration! What a GREAT idea! The afternoon couldn't have gone any better! Jack played the entire time he was there! We had to interrupt him a few times, so we could make some announcements and he jumped right back in when we were done! His musical ability is truly amazing, his personality is professional but not stuffy (he's a sweetheart, really). And I ask my self WHY we never thought of Steel Drum entertainment before! Everyone had positive comments regarding Jack's performance! We will definitely invite Lightning Jack to entertain us again! You can't go wrong with Lightning Jack McGivern! THANKS, Jack!
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music, Steel Drum Player
Jack was amazing...so very talented and worked with us last minute to perform at one of our beach weddings. The whole process was simple, and he did such a great job. The couple was more than pleased and couldn't stop talking about how Jack had made their wedding so perfect.
Thank you, Jack! Highly recommended.
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music, Steel Drum Player
I can't begin to describe how wonderful Jack and his band are! Not only did they show up early for set up, they allowed the kids to sing a few songs karaoke which was the highlight of their night. They were very nice and played a wide variety of music which was really great. The wedding guests really enjoyed listening to them play and gave many comments that the music was not overly loud (as often wedding music can be). Jack was great to work with during the booking process and provided prompt responses to my questions. They were a great band that played great music. Thank you Lightning Jack and band!
Party Band, Steel Drum Player
Jack was fantastic! We really enjoyed having play for our party and would recommend him highly.

Jack is great at playing to the crowd. Has an instinctive feel for what they want to hear and adjusts accordingly. Is versatile in light background music or an all out party. Professional in attire, equipment and showman ship and always set up early and ready to go.
