Anniversary Party•Reviewed on September 27, 2015•From Batavia, IL

Kent was great and the hit of the party. He made the event festive and added a special flair to my parents 50th anniversary. Arrived early and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly highly recommend him for any event that wants a unique music talent. Thanks Kent!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 11, 2010•From Saugatuck, MI

It is amazing the music he puts out as a soloist. He sounds like a band of 5 or more. I would recommend him without hesitation.

A real professional and a great guy! He was a total hit at our family reunion. We hated to see him leave! Next party, Kent, we will see you there!

Wedding•Reviewed on July 26, 2008•From Port Clinton, OH

We had a GREAT experience with Kent. Good communication from the beginning and very willing to play the songs we asked for AND in the order we asked for them! Many of our guests complimented us on the choice of steel drum music. It made for a wonderful cocktail hour. We've been playing his CDs at our pool and making our own little tropical vacation. Thank you Kent!

Picnic•Reviewed on June 23, 2006•From Elkhart, IN

Kent was awesome! He even allowed one of our own percussionists to play along with him for a bit. Not only is Kent an incredible steel drummer, he's also very friendly and accommodating! I will recommend him to anyone hosting a party who needs lively entertainment!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 6, 2008•From Jenison, MI

We were very happy with Kent and his performance. He brought the tropics to our party and took our minds off the cold and snowy day. He was very easy to work with and clear with what was needed and what his expectations were. If we could have him for every party we held we would. I would strongly recommend him for your function whatever the theme.
