Photo of Island Jams Productions Island Jams Productions "We are extremely thrilled with our outcomes using Island Jams. They were responsive, flexible and Aaron was as advertised. His talents were top notch and he was willing to work with us on our schedule and so easy to work with. He came on time, prepared and was ready go a little early and stayed a little later than scheduled. We would definitely use Island Jams in the future and recommend to anyone and everyone looking for an option for Hawaiian music!" Based in Redondo Beach, California (64 miles from Ojai) Michael Photo of Dylan's Steel Band Dylan's Steel Band "Review received on 9/3/2025 Oh What a Band!! We hired Dylan’s Steel Band for a Jamaican themed anniversary party. Not only did they arrive early to set up, they were very professional, friendly and accommodating. Not to mention SUPER talented! We totally look forward to hiring them again in the future and recommend to all of our family and friends. Working with them was such a nice experience.

Must hire him for your next event or wedding!" Based in Rancho Calaveras, California (270 miles from Ojai) Ridge Schnidet - Wine Tasting Room 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 (504 miles from Ojai) Jannette V Photo of Watusi Watusi "Watusi always FUN, professional, authentic, real, ontime, flexible, entertaining, interactive and a joy to work with!"
