Steel Drum Band & Steel Drum Player Chicago & Milwaukee

Scott,
Thanks for providing the perfect music for the Cary Grove Rotary Auction/Dinner on February 9, 2008. Since our theme was “Shipwrecked on Gilligan’s Island” your steel drum music set the mood for the night. Everyone on the Auction/Dinner Committee sends their compliments—they said I “did good” in hiring you! The Set Up Committee and the Emcee for the evening said you were very easy to work with. We’d hire you again!!

Scott - Thank you so much for the enjoyable Chamber mixer. Everyone loved you. It was just what I wanted for our "Island" mixer. I look forward to hiring you again for another event.

Scott was wonderful. All my residents and their families loved the performance. It added to the overall fun ambiance of my program and I would hire him again in a heart beat!!

Scott,

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday! We received so many compliments about your playing and how neat it was! Our only regret was that we only heard you play for 30 seconds because we were back so late due to pictures, although we'll end up with some really neat photo album memories. We understand that you couldn't stay to play longer. Do you have any CD's out? Thanks for the decorations compliment, seems like we got the "tropical" theme going! Have a great day, and we'll definitely pass your name along!

Thanks again,

Scott & Pam Anderson

Scott-
Thank you so much for playing at our 10^th Anniversary party at The Seville in Streamwood. I had so many people come up to me and say what a wonderful job you did. You were affordable, professional, well dressed, and worked well with our DJ. I really appreciate everything especially because I was not there to set you guys up. The music you play is extremely delightful and takes us to a happy place. Thanks again and I hope to be able to have you at a home party someday.

Scott added the perfect touch to our wedding celebration following our destination wedding. He played for three hours in the POURING rain and kept our celebration upbeat and festive. Scott arrived before the event started and made sure that we always had music during his alloted time. He reminded us of the steel drum player we had at our wedding in Aruba. I highly recommend him!

The Steel Drum Guy (Scott) was the perfect fit for our Caribbean themed corporate picnic! He was friendly, accommodating, courteous, professional, and was a really big hit with both adults and kids (I hear his rendition of "Under the Sea" from _The Little Mermaid_ was a big hit). The music was perfect - not too loud, but still loud enough to be heard. I would definitely recommend Scott the Steel Drum Guy to anyone considering his talent for an event!

HI Scott
I cannot thank you enough for being a part of our big day and entertaining our guests. They loved the laid back festive feel your music gave to the cocktail hour and I think it really set the mood for the rest of the reception. Everyone had a blast and I cannot thank you enough.

Most Sincerely, Cheri Dwyer

Scott was very prompt, courteous, self-sufficient, and was everything I had hoped for musically. I was nervous about hiring someone to entertain at our yearly function that I had no prior experience with, but Scott was a perfect addition to our Hawaiian Luau! Thanks so much, Scott.

Hi Scott,

Everyone on the committee agreed that your show added a great touch to the Women's Health Event.

You certainly put everyone in a festive mood and added a lot of fun to the event. Many women who attended had fun "dancing" along with the Caribbean beat of your music. You just had to smile and put a spring in your step when walking past "The Steel Drum Guy."

Thanks again Scott!

Hi Scott,
Thanks again for the show! What an affordable addition to our annual pool party! All of my guests loved the music and I appreciated the fact that you'll do whatever it takes to make people happy (like learning a new song in advance and playing it several times when requested). The sound quality was awesome and I'm surprised the whole neighborhood didn't stop by to see what was going on! I'll be sure to book it again next year.

Sincerely,

The island music provided by Scott during cocktail hour at my son’s wedding reception at the Riviera Ballroom in Lake Geneva was excellent! With the lake in the background, Scott’s steel drums were the perfect touch for the occasion. Several guests stated that they wished he could have played longer, and, in fact, I just spoke to one of the guests who, even after the wedding is long over, commented on Scott’s great music. Scott’s steel drums were the perfect kickoff to a very memorable reception.”

Scott did an incredible job playing during cocktails and dinner at our wedding reception. He was professional in all of our interactions before and during the wedding. Our guests remarked over and over again about how great the music was, and what a different twist it was to have steel drums at a wedding. Several guests let me know that they could have listened to him all night. We could hear some of the guests singing along to the music as he played. Scott really helped make the day special for us! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Panoramix was perfect. I was initially searching for a D.J. when I received his bid. Not only was he well within the budget, he was better than any d.j. we could have gotten. The right music, the right volume, and the steel drums fit the party theme better than any D.J. could have. The guests were all very impressed with his talent and I came out smelling like roses. I would, without a doubt, recommend Scott (Panoramix) for any occasion. Thanks again for your help finding him.

Scott,
You did a fantastic job at our wedding! We would have kept you all night if we could. Your music was the perfect compliment to a perfect day and helped create an unforgettable ambiance for us and our guests. I guarantee that I will be enjoying the pleasure of your company again in the future.
Thank you for your help.

Scott was very professional and the island music was a great enhancement to our event. We are planning on booking The Steel Drum Guy again in the next few months and reserving our key 2008 dates.

Thank you so much for providing the perfect backdrop for my husband's Hawaiian 40th birthday party! You play the steel drums beautifully. Your music was complimented throughout the entire party and everyone wanted to know where I found you. It was especially nice for a smaller home-based party as the music wasn't overpowering that it inhibited conversation amongst the guests. Again, thank you so much for a job well done!

Jodi Caithamer

The Steel Drum Guy was perfect for our event. He was prompt, and flexible. We had to change the date and time of our event and he was very accomodating. He was concerned about the volume of the music to not be too loud, and I appreciated that. He is friendly, and provided an atmosphere that was family friendly for our New Members event. I am glad we chose him.

Dear Scott
Thank you so much for performing at out 2nd annual Wine Tasting on March 4, 2006. Your music truly created the mood and atmosphere we were hoping for! Thanks you again

Scott was pleasant and quite easy to work with. He came early and played a little longer than expected. He gave some brief history and information about the steel drum which added to the presentation. He is quite affordable and, with his background audio track, had a good sound.

Hello Scott,

I just wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful job you did on Friday night. You were the perfect addition to the party!! Many people commented on the same. I also loved the decorations you brought. Thanks again!!

Thanks again!!

Scott made our house party theme complete. Friends still talk about how good The Steel Drum Guy was.

Hi, Scott,

Thank you so much for the wonderful performance last night. I think that your music really added to the festivities. Of course the lighted palm tree really added a special touch! I also appreciated the use of the microphone.

I understand that my neighbors are looking forward to hiring you for one of their events next year. They have a really nice pool deck just across the street from me. Also, Linda and Larry, the couple who were dancing, are also interested in hiring you. They like to dance and really appreciated that you played a lot of really good dance music.

Thanks again, Scott.

Sincerely,

Rae

Scott performed at one of our promotions. He wowed the crowd with his steel drum performance! He was a pleasure to work with and I recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional performer.

Scott, thank you for providing the musical backdrop for our “Dog Days of Summer” celebration, at McHenry County College. Your steel drum band added the perfect tropical accompaniment to sing along with, dance to, or just sit on a beach blanket and enjoy.

Thank you again for adding to our day.

Scott,

Thanks for coming out. Everyone had a great time. You can quote this..."The Steel Drum Guy (Panoramix) provided the perfect background music for our party. His performance set the mood for a most enjoyable evening".

Dear Scott-

We want to tell you how much we enjoy your steel drum music. It lends the perfect "Island Ambience" to our tropical restaurant here at Julio's Cocina Latina. The customers always comment on how it makes them feel like their on vacation in a warm exotic place. Can't wait to have you play again. Hope to see you soon.
