Family Reunion•Reviewed on July 11, 2016•From Barrington, IL

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!

Ken was fabulous! He was easy to communicate/work with! He arrived early, professional, and courteous! I hired him for a company holiday party and we love his music performance! I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again for future events!

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.
