May 19, 2025Came through for us in a pinch - great vibes!
Matt really came through for my event in a pinch. I had reached out a day before the event after a vendor had dropped out, and he was ready to jump right in. We got all the logistics nailed down quickly. Matt was prompt and easy to work with. Everyone agreed that without him, the event wouldn't have attracted as many people. Everyone heard the steel drum and knew something was going on in that area. I would definitely use Matt again!

March 20, 2023Great Choice!
Our Steel Pan player was phenomenal and created an amazing vibe for our event. I would highly recommend using Waco Live Jazz and Tropical Entertainment. I also enjoyed the GigSalad platform.
