Outstanding Solo Performance

We hired Scott to play during the cocktail hour for our wedding. Scott knocked it out the park. All of our guests LOVED his song list. You could tell how much he loves playing the music. What else can you say when some one blows past all of your expectations? Perfection that’s what it was, thank you Scott!

Scott was so accommodating!

Scott performed at a Memorial luncheon for my Dad...his music was super, he could not have been easier to work with. He showed great empathy, and even worked out a song with my brother to perform in advance. My family can’t thank Scott enough.

Flawless Event

Steel Drums by Scott was very professional. He arrived with plenty of time to set up the equipment and played a little longer. I received a lot of compliments from the attendees on the songs he performed.

Wonderful!

Scott was amazing! He was very diligent with obtaining details of the event and had some great ideas. He arrived early and played beautifully. Watching the video playback brings a tear to my eye every time. He even took the time to learn a specific song that we requested. We would definitely hire Scott again!

Scott was fabulous!

We had Scott here at Weymouth Country Club for what was supposed to be a "Pool Party" but do to the nasty weather, we had to move indoors. He never blinked an eye as to relocating his music and performed all evening to the enjoyment of our membership and guests. I would highly recommend him and look forward to having him back!!
