Island Boys Steel Calypso was the perfect addition to our luau and truly tied the entire event together. Our residents loved the music, and Willie has a wonderful voice! The band was friendly, professional, arrived on time, and delivered a fantastic evening for our residents and guests. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking to bring a fun, festive atmosphere to their event.

We hired Willy the Pan Man for our event at a long-term care facility. He was very talented playing music that made you want to move. Staff and residents enjoyed the event. As this was part of our cultural heritage day I asked that he play from a variety of islands/countries and share where the song originated. He did a great job sharing that information. Easy to work with and a very fun event. He showed up early, with plenty of time to set up before the event began.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 21, 2019•From Trumbull, CT

I don’t know where to begin. I was looking to create a nice ambience for my husbands 40th birthday party on our backyard - Emy was just wonderful. Everyone at the party was commenting how they would like to book her at their next party. The music was relaxing and soothing and the perfect background music for our island party! Emy was easy to communication with via text once I put down my deposit and we were able to work out the final logistics! If you want to take a good party to a great party, I would highly recommend hiring Emy or the entire ensemble for your next event! I would call her again in a heartbeat! Thank you again for making this day memorable!!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on August 27, 2018•From Long Island City, NY

Bobo was a blast to work with~ When bidding out the event, he was the only person that reached out on the phone to get a better understanding of what I was looking for. Establishing agreement was a breeze. Arrival was punctual and lines of communication were loud & clear. He even brought his musical family in to join our baby's birthday party! Everyone loved their music and a room full of about 20+ kids/infants were in island heaven~ THANKS to IRIE FEELIN Band for making my son's birthday so memorable.

Willy was a superstar! He even played for longer than contracted for, as our members were delayed due to the rain. Willy and his partner were absolutely awesome!
