Scott was more than we imagined when hiring a steel drummer for our Margaritaville themed Cleveland Charge game. He began playing on a busy concourse and it was well received by our staff and fans alike, then he was flexible with being willing to move to a second location downstairs and set up in our Beach themed bar area where he was able to plug in and the entire arena was able to hear him play during breaks in the action. On time, very talented, and all around a great person to work with! Highly recommend!

Thank you Sam! It was my pleasure. Such a great experience. I hope to work together again.
Scott is an amazing musician and an all-around great individual.
At the last minute, Scott helped our high school to put on a highly successful Culture Fest. He played both the bagpipes and the steel drums and he played them both excellently. He was more than on time and he took to a completely unfamiliar setting in no time at all. I cannot say more good things about Scott. Book him for your next event and you will not regret it. Thank you so much again, Scott!

Thank you Marie! It was great to meet you and to be part of your event. I look forward to future events with you guys :)
Our guests from our wedding are still raving about Scott's performance as they entered our reception. Scott played while people enjoyed a cocktail party and dinner at the yacht club. He set the mood for a perfect day. He really is masterful. Whether you have an event next to the water, a corporate retreat, a convention cocktail party; your guests will be talking about Scott for year's to come. Thank you, Scott!

Scott did an amazing job for our event. We are an assisted living community and our residents absolutely love music! Scott played very well and it was just loud enough. Perfect! I will most likely book him for other events at our community!

We hired Scott to play during the cocktail hour for our wedding. Scott knocked it out the park. All of our guests LOVED his song list. You could tell how much he loves playing the music. What else can you say when some one blows past all of your expectations? Perfection that’s what it was, thank you Scott!

Thank you Deborah, and thank you for having me. Beautiful people, home and I would love to come to play for you again :)
Scott performed at a Memorial luncheon for my Dad...his music was super, he could not have been easier to work with. He showed great empathy, and even worked out a song with my brother to perform in advance. My family can’t thank Scott enough.

Scott was amazing! He was very diligent with obtaining details of the event and had some great ideas. He arrived early and played beautifully. Watching the video playback brings a tear to my eye every time. He even took the time to learn a specific song that we requested. We would definitely hire Scott again!

We had Scott here at Weymouth Country Club for what was supposed to be a "Pool Party" but do to the nasty weather, we had to move indoors. He never blinked an eye as to relocating his music and performed all evening to the enjoyment of our membership and guests. I would highly recommend him and look forward to having him back!!
