DrummerChick ENT
"This is definitely a pocket drummer. Very solid and always grooving. She is a pleasure to work with and very creative. Very professional drummer by far."
Sean Leak-Smash Panda
"We call Sean anytime we book gigs for our Southern Rock/Bar playlist band. He is solid with playing and helps us with sound as well. We depend on flexibility, and he has zero DIVA about him! Always a good show with him."
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.

"“Beautiful, powerful start with "These Eyes". Powerhouse vocals, blues content is "spot on". Thank you for all the originals. Engage stage presence. Really enjoyed your wide vocal range. There are so many Blues categories, you defied every one of them. DON'T STOP, KEEP IT UP. Very Refreshing. You are in a class by yourself.”

"Wow, I love it! It’s a wild ride and sometimes it seems to be laughing at the listener… then there are the boats of jazzy pillows that carry you across the rapids. Very cool"
