Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,367 miles from Edmonton) Sasoon - Wedding 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." Based in Tucson, Arizona, United States (1,479 miles from Edmonton) Jannette V Photo of Taproots Taproots "A soulful, high-energy fusion of world-class musicians creating a vibrant, inclusive community.
