Community Event•Reviewed on April 24, 2026•From Cambridge, MA

Gregg was an amazing person to work with. Punctual, professional, and talented. We have a very diverse community at MIT and Gregg was able to target many different audiences with his song selections. Everyone was dancing and smiling. I would hire Gregg again & again!

Thank you so much for having me, Aaron! I had a great time playing and was grateful to make so many meaningful musical connections!!!

Retirement Party•Reviewed on November 17, 2024•From Boston, MA

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING the ISLAND TIME STEEL BAND!! From the beginning to the end of the night, this band will delight you and your guests! NO STRESS, NO WORRY, THEY DELIVER FUN AND ENJOYMENT ALL NIGHT LONG! The band exudes professionalism, has ALL the talent, surpassed my expectations with their musical playlist selections from the islands that they made me and my guests feel like we were in the Caribbean! All night long people were coming up to me asking if I provided them the playlist because they were coming out with hit after hit from back in the day till current. Easy listening while dinner was happening and revved it up as the night went on! BOOK THEM!

Gregg and Island Time Steel Band were AMAZING!! Gregg was very communicative beforehand and so excited and open when talking through our music list. Day of, the music was incredible - totally set the perfect happy and light vibe I wanted for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Would highly recommend hiring Island Time Steel Band. They are very talented and a true delight!!

Island Time Steel Band was awesome! Highly recommend these guys. I requested a full band and they came through with 2 steel drums, percussion, bass, and drums. Our event was at the New England Aquarium and even after attendees headed inside when the aquarium opened, they still continued to play with just as much enthusiasm as when they first started for just the few people that were handing out in the tent. We will definitely hire them if we are ever back in the Boston area.

Gregg was awesome. He brought such fun to our evening, playing a tasteful mix of music and keeping our crowd entertained. He was quick to set up, even entertained some questions from guests about his set up. We will definitely be reaching out to use Gregg for some point in our CBI Wedding Weekend.

They were the perfect band to kick off our event!! They were personable; played popular songs with their own take and the crowd loved them. They brought a Party/Vacation feel to the event. Wish they had played more!!!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 26, 2022•From North Dartmouth, MA

Gregg and his team were responsive and professional. They played for 3 hrs for a wedding and were the hit of the party! Gregg also handled the sound for the ceremony microphone, that they have and will set up. Thank you guys for playing for us! Can’t wait to have another party! BEST Steel pan band in the area!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 7, 2020•From Westerly, RI

Gregg from the very beginning was amazing to work with. We booked with our wedding with him prior to covid, then I cancelled, then rebooked for an elopement then wound up having an actually wedding. through this entire ordeal Gregg was in constant contact with us, checking in. That speaks volume to his character! The music, & performance was great! I had no idea what to pick for songs and Gregg really helped at navigating this whole process. we had a lot of guests who commented on how great they sounded. A family friend even wants to book Gregg for his daughters wedding next year.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 26, 2020•From Warwick, RI

Gregg was a joy to deal with. He was able to accommodate all of our needs. Any song we asked him to play he did, and if he didn't have the music, he found it for us. Highly recommend Gregg and Island Time Steel Band to anyone who needs a steel drummer.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 3, 2020•From Topsfield, MA

Gregg was great to work with and the guests all loved the performance and are still raving about it. I would absolutely recommend him. It definitely set the vibe for an outdoor pool event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 27, 2020•From Newton, MA

Gregg was absolutely wonderful. I planned a birthday dinner with another couple (physically distanced of course) and had Gregg entertain in the driveway. He is talented, very accommodating, and a delight to be around. In fact, his music was so awesome, all the neighbors came by to listen, dance, and enjoy. Thanks to Gregg, we had a great celebration dancing in the driveway and enjoying his steel drum island music. Can't wait to hire him again to get a night away from covid and have fun. He was great!!!!!! Sharon H. Newton

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 4, 2019•From Holden, MA

We had a great experience with Gregg for our wedding reception. He is very professional and quick to respond to any texts/emails. He is a good guy that clearly loves what he does. Making the customer happy is his obvious goal. He helped us make our wedding day so special. He went the extra to learn the older music we requested. We highly recommend him. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his performance. 5 stars.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 20, 2019•From Dennis, MA

The amazing steel drum music performed by Greg from Island Time Steel Band really set the mood for my daughters wedding. Steel drum music was played during the cocktail reception and during dinner. My daughter had a nautical theme wedding 7/20/19 on Cape Cod and the upbeat, fun, music was perfect! The steel drums have a" happy and upbeat" sound that makes you want to "move and sway to the music." Greg was so accommodating, from my initial contact and is very professional. If you are looking for Steel Drum music - look no further - Island Time Steele Band is AWESOME! I will absolutely hire Island Time Steel Band again.
