Mike Greer is an amazing musician.

I had an engagement party for my daughter and we hired Mike the steel drum player and he was phenomenal not to mention prompt, kind and always responded when I reached out to him. My guests are still talking about the steel drum player. I will definitely use Mike again. Thank you for making our engagement party for our daughter beautiful and memorable. Jodi ❣️

Perfect addition to summer party by the beach!

We hired Mike to provide some light background music for a large dinner party near the beach. He added the perfect compliment to the evening. The adults enjoyed the subtle sounds while the kids danced around with hula hoops! Mike was a pleasure to work with!
