Reviews of Caribbean Music available in Austin

5/5 from 175 reviews
Photo of Steel Drum Player Steel Drum Player "When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice! Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion. Allie B.

Michael Marciano did not disappoint...I am going to be putting in our shedule. Literally heard ZZ Top...in Renault?? You'll gotta hear him,,,he is awesome...he has a few videos on YouTube...but nothing like the real thing!! Older and younger folks will love his music." Based in Saint Charles, Missouri (719 miles from Austin) Tammie Zahner - Freeda's Bar Owner - Renault, Illinois Photo of Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment "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."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for Caribbean music ranges from $190 to $3,050+, with an average of $600. Rates depend on the number of musicians, performance duration and the instruments involved. Caribbean music acts vary from solo steel drum players to full bands with vocals, percussion and brass, and the size of the group is the main pricing factor.

The Caribbean music performers on Gig Heaven cover a broad range of Caribbean styles including reggae, calypso, soca, ska, steel pan, dancehall and mento. Many acts feature a mix of genres to create a varied setlist that captures the spirit of the Caribbean islands.

Hiring Caribbean music performers is popular for summer parties, beach and tropical-themed events, weddings, corporate functions and festivals. Caribbean music creates an instantly uplifting atmosphere and works well for both background listening and lively dancing.

Most Caribbean acts bring their own instruments and PA system for standard venue sizes. Steel pan players, for example, bring their own pans and stands. For larger events or outdoor stages, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming equipment details with the performers before booking.
