Restaurant EventReviewed on July 18, 2012From Tampa, FL

Winston showed up early, set up early and had back ground music playing as we set up. He was very professional and grateful for the business. We would recommend him and use him again.

Winston was very professional and talented. I do wish he would have sang more though. However we were thoroughly happy with his performance.

I thought the music was wonderful and everyone loved it at our wedding. For anyone looking for steel drum music on the beach for any occasions, I would definitely do this again.

IslandBoys are very accomidating and enjowable to work with. I would definitely consider working with them again. They respond to questions or concerns quicker than any other group I have ever worked with.

The Island boys band did a great job performing at our November 7th wedding. It was exactly what we were looking for with our tropical wedding. Everyone loved it!!!!

Family ReunionReviewed on November 6, 2010From Tampa, FL

Did a great job at my small family reunion/backyard party. Gave the family patriach a steel drum lesson that made his day and engaged the group. Would hire him again.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on November 5, 2021From Sarasota, FL

He arrived on time and everyone really enjoyed the experience. They really set the mood of the event and would highly recommend them for your event. We had a cooperate event but would imagine they would be perfect for any party.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on July 11, 2021From Tampa, FL

He sounds like a professional streamed music band. Many guests thought we were playing a Spotify playlist and were shocked when i told them he was a live one man band. I would definitely hire him again for our next party.

Great performance from Winston at The Island Boys! Everyone loved the music My only regret is we didn't have the budget to do a DUO. We'll certainly do next time!! Thanks again.

Winston was responsive to my email questions and arrived early for the event. He was pleasant and gracious and what beautiful music he made happen with those steel drums!! It added the perfect tropical ambiance to my annual customer appreciation party!

The Island Boys did a great job at the Tampa Sailing Squadron regatta party! As the organizer, I was very pleased to receive very positive feedback from attendees who enjoyed the music, which was very appropriate to the venue and theme of the event. We will certainly plan to have them back at future events.

Winston and the Band were right on time and super easy to work with. Once we pointed them in the direction of set up they did their thing and I didn't have to think about it again!!! The music was perfect.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 17, 2019From Placida, FL

Winston and his son played a nice variety of songs during our 3 hour event. Our guests complimented us over and over again with how nice the party was and how great the musicians were. We got out on the patio to dance to the sounds and everyone had a good time. Winston and son were talented, respectful, punctual and considerate. I'd highly recommend them.

Winston gave us a great performance, and stayed an extra hour with short noticed. Everyone loved him! His performance was more than I expected.

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on November 1, 2019From Clearwater, FL

We were very pleased with the Island Boys for our wedding welcome party. Since this was a destination wedding, we did not have the opportunity to meet with them prior to our event. They were extremely professional and talented and provided exactly the vibe we were looking for!! I would highly recommend them.

WeddingReviewed on October 7, 2019From Sarasota, FL

I guess my biggest issues was the communication issue between us. Booked with one person, emailed by another and called by someone else so I wasn’t confident that I was dealing with the same company or pawned off on someone else .. I was finally assured the other callers were other members of the band ( father/son etc) but happy overall after weeks of confusion was over.

Islandboys:

I don't understand why the client should be confused. From the first conversation with the client, I booked the job for my partner in our compnany... my son Jesse. He called the client before the gig to discuss details. He showed up early and did a great professional job. I don't understand the reason for concern. winston the islandlboys

Community EventReviewed on June 16, 2019From Pinellas Park, FL

Winston and his drummer were great for our caribbean party! We are a 55+ community but had guests of all ages which ALL enjoyed their music. Wide variety and they seemed to be able to judge when to change the tempo to keep guests up and dancing. It was also great that Winston went back and forth from the Steel Drums to the keyboard ..it added more depth to the music and didn't hurt anyones ears. Vocals were also great! Our residents are already asking to have them back again and it was just last night!
