Great background music for a summer party!

Mike was professional and courteous - he showed up an hour and a half before his start time to get set up. He played a great variety of island music with some Jimmy Buffet thrown in. Our guests loved the "vibe" he provided for the cocktail hours. There's nothing like a steel drum on a hot summer afternoon! Thanks for helping make my wife's 50th such a fun event!!

Better than advertised

I didn't have any initial expectations due to the lack on site feedback and a short clip from YouTube. He really did a great job. Jumping between the steel drum and acoustic guitar (I'm guessing), he sang non-stop for the allotted two hours, impressing our chamber of commerce enough that he walked away with additional gigs! The event was very successful and we were fortunate he played a solid part. 5-stars.
