"Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events. "

Thank you Jannette! It was a special performance for me as well. Your cousin was a dear and I am always amazed at the power of music to reach all of us. I grateful that you chose me to perform for this special birthday. It will always be a treasured memory!

"Our beachfront dinner was made perfect by Tim’s wonderful steel drum performance. The music was the perfect balance—lively yet soothing, adding a wonderful island charm without overpowering conversation. If you're looking for the ultimate tropical ambiance, this steel drum player is a must-have addition to any beachside evening."

"Beautiful music Chris was pleasant and friendly and attentive to our needs. He played well. I should have been more clear about the timing of his playing, as we would have preferred more playing at the end of the service than the beginning, but I take responsibility for not making that more clear.

"Never had a party with live music before. Took the event to another level. Music was so good I kept forgetting it was live. Everyone was amazed by his talent and the heart he put into the music. If you’re thinking about it, do it. You won’t regret it."

"My daughter found and booked NLT for her August 2025 wedding in Peekskill NY. You could not ask for a better, more accommodating, accomplished, amazing band. The musicians were all great, engaged and they made the party fantastic. Robert worked with my daughter all along-they developed the playlist, they worked out everything well in advance of the event, and the band was there, settled in and ready to go. Robert was always accessible, (and I think forgave me when I rudely got makeup on him and tried to wipe it off. Apologies, Robert!) NLT-beyond any reasonable expectation. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful group. "
