August 15, 2026Third Coast Steel was perfect for our event and loved by all
Steve showed up on time as agreed, set up and performed. We couldn't be happier with his performance. I received so many praises of his performance throughout the evening.
He was very cognizant of keeping the volume at a level that people could still converse and did a sound check around the grounds before performing.
His play list was perfect for our "Lobsterfest," outdoor party.
I highly recommend Third Coast Steel for any event.
