Photo of #VozMusic Band #VozMusic Band "Very good sound and energy from this band. We have had them entertain our patrons for several of our events held at Cafe Mariposa and we have always been very pleased with VozMusic" Based in Scarborough, Ontario (22 miles from Oshawa) 29th March 2026 Marcia Guerrero - CAFE MARIPOSA LOPINOT - TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Photo of Panorama Panorama "Great music, fun show, very professional, ontime, flexible." Based in Dallas, Texas, United States (1,235 miles from Oshawa) Jimi - Tropikal 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."

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.

As we are from Trinidad we wanted something for our guests to enjoy as they mingled and chatted and the sound of the Steelpan was really lovely. Many guests commented on how great Dexter was and it was nice to see him smiling and enjoying himself too! The set was mixed music and sounded great."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring steel bands is $600, with prices from $240 to $1,250+. Cost depends on the number of players, performance length and whether the band includes percussion and other instruments. Steel bands range from compact three-piece groups to large ensembles, and the group size is the main factor in pricing.

Hiring steel bands is popular for summer parties, Caribbean-themed events, weddings, corporate receptions, festivals and outdoor celebrations. The bright, upbeat sound of steel drums instantly creates a tropical, feel-good atmosphere.

Steel drums are naturally loud and many steel bands can perform without amplification for small to medium events. For larger venues or outdoor spaces, a PA system may be used. Gig Heaven recommends discussing the venue with the band to determine the best setup.
