Mike is such a pleasure to work with! He's flexible in that we had to switch the venue because of the weather and was happy to accommodate our change. The residents really enjoy his music and he brings smiles to their faces! Thanks Mike for another wonderful performance!

Steel Happiness (Mike Cook) performed at our town's 70th Birthday Party. The large group of attendees were of a mixed age group. Mike's steel drum and choice of music were enjoyed by all age groups with many commenting how pleasant and enjoyable the music was. We would definitely have him play at a future event.

Thanks for the great review, Pat! I’m glad to have added musical happiness to your town’s birthday party. Cheers! Mike

Could not be more pleased with Steel Happiness! Michael Cook was perfect for the Kick Off Summer Party in our private beach community. Everyone LOVED the music and there’s no doubt folks will be booking him in the future!

This was our second time booking Mike, and he was an even bigger hit than before! He provides exactly what he advertises -- an ambient escape to a tropical climate. One of my favorite things about Mike is that he takes the extra step of providing his story and the history and science behind the steel drum. This is what makes him a great choice for people looking to entertain a wide age range -- children and grown folks. We will definitely be booking Mike again.

Mike Cook was amazing. He is very talented and was very accommodating at our Caribbean-themed party. His music added to the atmosphere and ambiance we had hoped for. We would definitely recommend him and hope to have an opportunity to use his excellent artistry again in the future!

Luau PartyReviewed on March 8, 2023From Timonium, MD

Mike did another amazing job at our Tiki Bar party. This was our last Tiki Bar for the summer and his music was the perfect way to close out our Tiki Bar season. He always confirms before the event, arrives early, and is very personable with the residents who attend the party. Thanks Mike for another great Tiki Bar season! (Sorry for the late review! I thought I did one already.)

Thanks, Sara! Your residents are wonderful, and so kind with their nice comments to me about my music. I love bringing musical happiness to them. Cheers! Mike

EventReviewed on August 2, 2022From New Castle, DE

Cannot say enough nice things about Mike and his act, Steel Happiness! Mike arrived promptly and was a total professional. The forecast wasn't looking great, but Mike was super responsive to my concerns! We ended up holding out through the rain, and the crowd that showed up were extremely grateful because of how much joy Mike's performance brought them. Mike does a great job of balancing a strong variety of music with small anecdotes and tidbits about steel drums and his journey playing them. If you're looking for a casual and tropical vibe, you couldn't do much better than Steel Happiness! Highly recommended, especially for outdoor atmosphere and entertainment.

:

Thanks, Tyler. It was a pleasure entertaining your audience. They were so appreciative of my music and the brief stories I told them about the history of the steel drum and how it’s made. They were a lovely group. Cheers! Mike

We enjoyed Mike so much last summer that we brought him back to our community again this year! He played our annual Luau party and his music is energetic and transports you to the islands. Mike is so talented! Also, he is well prepared and communicates frequently before the event. We look forward to seeing him again this summer! Thanks Mike for making our event a success!

Thanks, Sara. You are all terrific, and your guests tell me how much they love my music. I'm glad to bring everyone there some extra happiness. Cheers! Mike

Club EventReviewed on June 20, 2022From Frankford, DE

Steel Happiness (Mike) was a hit with our Happy Hour guests. He arrived early, and started our Welcome to Summer event off right! His music selection was appropriate and he connected instantly with the guests. We even had a brief rain shower. He simply moved under the pavilion and continued his show. We were extremely pleased with Mike and would hire him again and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a smooth Caribbean vibe!
