Steely Pan
"Our beachfront dinner was made perfect by Tim’s wonderful steel drum performance. The music was the perfect balance—lively yet soothing, adding a wonderful island charm without overpowering conversation. If you're looking for the ultimate tropical ambiance, this steel drum player is a must-have addition to any beachside evening."

Master Musicians Incorporated
"I used master musicians for our micro wedding. We wanted elegant music that contributed to , rather than overpowered our ceremony. Using a violin and cello it was perfect. Their communication was excellent with multiple choices of instruments and and a huge music selection. Choosing which pieces of music was the only difficult part of the whole experience. They helped me make decisions and on the day the atmosphere they provided was perfect! They played on the sand in florida 85+ degree heat and were note perfect, then moved inside for the cocktail hour. They were amazing and I loved having them be an integral part of our special day."

"We were absolutely blown away by our violinist, Julian, at my daughter’s wedding. The music created such a magical atmosphere from the ceremony to the reception. Every song was played beautifully and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much it elevated the day. Professional, talented, and truly gifted, having him perform was one of the best decisions we made. He didn’t just play music he created memories we will treasure forever. "

M Lodrini - Wedding
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.

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. Highly recommend
