Whatever your occasion, let the tropical groove of Third Coast Steel provide the perfect music.
Thank you for bringing the vibes for our farewell dinner and accommodating our special song request!

Our guests were amazed by this performance. Truly brought the Caribbean vibes to traverse city, Michigan.
Things went really well. Thanks for coming.
We really enjoyed the music.
Response from Third Coast Steel:
It was absolutely my pleasure! I had SO many conversations and interactions with your guests and they were all enjoyable. One of my favorite gigs in 25 years. Thank YOU :)
Our party just didn't sound the same after Steve was done performing! Wish we had him play all night!!!
Nothing like the sound of a steel drum to teleport you to somewhere sunny! Nice music selection and professional demeanor.
The steel drum was beautiful. Many guests said it was a highlight of the reception. His flexibility and good nature was helpful - the Bose speaker was excellent. I loved it.

We hired Third Coast Steel to play at my husband’s 40th birthday party. The music was awesome and our guests really enjoyed the night. Several of our guests asked for his info so they could hire him in the future. All around, we are very happy.

This was a surprise for my parents at their 35th Wedding Anniversary party. Everyone loved it!
Response from Third Coast Steel:
Thank you so much! Being part of a surprise is always fun for me :)
We had Steve come out and play the steel drum during my father in law's Celebration of Life. He was completely perfect. The music was amazing, he had music for his breaks as well, he adjusted the volume depending on what was going on, he was great with the kids and others who asked questions or were interested in his set up. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He truly made the event perfect. He just needed a little space but it sounded like a whole band was playing. So good.
Response from Third Coast Steel:
Thank you so much! I had a wonderful time performing for and interacting with your guests. It was absolutely my pleasure!!
