Beach Bash Bridal Shower

Six of us threw a couples bridal shower. With six opinions, some thought a steel drummer might be fun. Others thought it unnecessary. After listening to Chris's videos and reading reviews, I booked him and was ALL IN. My advice - if in question, book him! He is professional, proficient and will make the party!

Great entertainment!!

Chris did an awesome job! We didn’t give him any direction so he did his own thing which was amazing! All of our guests said how much they enjoyed hearing him play! 10/10 all around!

Amazing service!

Amy did a fantastic job at our new years brunch! She took care of everything and it was a huge help to us. I’m sorry glad we hired her and actually enjoyed our own party. The cocktails were fabulous and the kids loved the mocktails. Thanks a million!!

Chris Belich Steel Pan Drum Performance

Chris played for our annual Church Christmas Brunch. He was very professional, and very talented. The guests loved his music, and afterwards he spoke to several of them, answering questions about his drum. I would highly recommend him for any gathering.

Super pro, super talented!

Chris was exactly the right choice for our event. Several comments from attendees about how having him there for ambiance was the perfect touch to round out our Tropical Party. He was very accommodating to our party goers, we have a very diverse group from all over the world, some who had never seen a steel drum before. He graciously answered questions and let people take photos with him and the drum. He arrived promptly and set up quickly and started and ended on time. We highly recommend!

Perfect for pool party!

We recently held a hawiian themed pool party at our apartment complex for the residents of the community and hired Chris to play. He was awesome! Timely, polite, and he is incredibly talented! Our guests loved the music; it was perfect for our event.

Amazing Entertainment for the Evening

Based on the other reviews I read, I had high expectations for Chris Belich when I book him to provide an evening of entertainment for a backyard party I hosted in the Minneapolis area. He was FANTASTIC!, and not only met my expectations but far surpassed them. A great guy to work with, Chris arrived early enough to be set up when the guests arrived, was fun and easy to work with, interacted with the guests, and played incredible Caribbean / Calypso / Island music and steel drums. Will definitely be booking him again, and strongly recommend him.

Fantastic Addition to any Party!!

I hired Chris for a big luau that I threw in my backyard and he was the perfect addition to the party! The music was perfect volume, perfect style, he played for about four hours and even gave little lessons to some people who wanted to try. I absolutely recommend Chris for any sort of event, especially an outdoor tropical style party!

What to Expect

Solo steel pan played over backtracks.

About

After hearing his first authentic steel pan band while vacationing in Trinidad, Christopher's appreciation of their music has quickly turned into a deep love and lifelong ambition to spread the love and good vibes of the Caribbean to the Midwest. After growing up in Duluth and spending several years traveling to the Caribbean and busking alongside Lake Superior, Chris moved to the Twin Cities area in 2015 where he has continued to perform for concerts and private events. In addition to solo performances, he is a regular performer with several bands in the Twin Cities including the Pan-handlers Steel Drum Band and The Tropics Steelband, and is a published composer of steel pan repertoire. Chris continues to return regularly to Trinidad and Tobago where he performs with a local band, "Silver Stars", for the country's annual Panorama competition.
