Reviews

Mr. Brown did an amazing job playing the steel drum for my cocktail hour. He was very prompt and professional. All of my guests loved this added touch as my husband was very surprised to have him there playing. I would definitely recommend Mr. Brown for your event. Thank you for being so accommodating for my event!

island vibe for bat mitzvah
​
We hired Nate to create an island feeling for our daughter's island-themed bat mitzvah, and he delivered. He played for the adults during the cocktail hour and then for the adults and kids as they worked their way through the buffet. Everyone was commenting on what a great addition it was to the tropical theme, and his songs were a perfect mix of reggae and contemporary classics. Apparently, at one point he did a little singing along with his steel-drum playing, which I missed, but that seemed to be a big hit with guests. Our schedule was running late, and Nate was flexible about playing a bit longer. He was professional at the event as well as during the planning stages. Because of other party elements, we needed to adjust Nate's role at the party a couple times during the planning stages and he was always happy to oblige. His rates are also very reasonable. So glad we hired Nate.
