We had a summer party in winter themed event and Todd with his steel drums and beach vibe was a perfect accompaniment. We would definitely use him again!
So fun. Everyone dancing by the end. Thank you.
Todd was great and very friendly. All of my colleagues loved him and his music and asked for his card. We will make sure to book him in the future.
My husband and I wanted a beach wedding feel in our backyard here in Illinois. Todd and his son came and entirely made our wedding perfect. Many of the guests asked for his name and contact information. I can not recommend them enough! They were wonderful!
Perfect for our event! Would highly recommend!
Todd played at a going away party for us with an island theme. His music fit the theme perfectly. He was punctual, courteous, and very talented. I would definitely recommend booking him for any event.
I booked Todd for my wife's 50th Birthday party. Turns out, she'd seen him perform back when she was a student at ISU back in the day. Clearly, this was meant to be.
Todd's communication was great, his professionalism was fantastic, and his act was wonderful. He was exactly what I was looking for, and he was a lot of fun. I would book him again, without hesitation.
Response from Todd Donnelly- Steel Drums and Vocals:
Keith and his family we're excellent hosts- they put me on a covered porch which was great because it did rain a bit! Keith kept in touch and even sent me a pic of my performance area, which doesn't happen very often. All in all it was a wonderful gig and I would definitely work with Keith again!

Todd was fantastic! Very prompt, professional, and great to work with. Our members absolutely loved his play list and I would love to work with him again!
We are definitely interested in booking Todd in the future for Art & Soul on the Fox with a more favorable location to demonstrate his talent! Very personable & talented!
Todd did an amazing job getting the crowd of our Holiday party into the Caribbean mood. I'm looking forward to working with him again
Did what we wanted! Great vocals but also didn't feel bad asking him to just play background pan. Reasonable and professional
Todd Donnelly we would definitely re-book. He worked with us on our schedule constraints and the play list was perfect for our day camp party. Todd was very nice and polite. Great sound for our beach party!
Todd was great to work with. Our guest were so impressed with the great energy in the room. We had a Blast. We will definitely book again!
