We booked John for our daughter's wedding at Paradise Cove in Orlando. The setting was beautiful and John playing the steel drums made it perfect. He went out of his way to learn a specific song my daughter wanted Very professional and also very helpful and friendly...can't rate him highly enough.

What to expect

Great Music the you will recognize and enjoy. I invite the crowd during my show to come over and see what the Drums look like and, educate them on how they are built. I also explain the History of The Steel Drums. I also enjoy having the children and guest of all ages to come and play the Drums and even teach them a song. Providing a true, entertaining and interactive experience that you will always remember.
