July 17, 2023Awesome vibe!
We had Tropical Steel for my backyard birthday party and it was a great time! He arrived early for set up, was very friendly, he took our requests, was very professional and kept the party going! We would definitively have him again. All of our guests loved the music and island vibe. The only issue is that his phone number is incorrect on Gigsalad, so contact him with the number he sends with your quote. Thank you to John for bringing my party to life!

July 4, 2023Totally On Point!!!
Tropical Steel was the perfect component to my husband’s birthday party. My husband loves pan music and he was over the moon happy. John is professional and his music and performance were slamming. I took a chance with him and he was a hit—great energy! Everyone was dancing. He was just awesome. Hire him to take your party to the next level. Completely worth the money. Thank you John so very much.
