About Hiring Me:

For Weddings I charge $350 for the first hour, and $100 each additional hour.
For Private Parties I charge only $150 per hour, with a three-hour minimum.
There are no travel charges inside Broward or Palm Beach Counties.
Travel fees are explained more on the 'Weddings' page.

If you've some shopping around you probably haven't seen anyone posting their prices on line like I just did here. I do this to save us both time. You will find more expensive musicians and you will find cheaper, but you won't find anyone better at what they do than me. I'm not going to put you in a bidding war against another client. I work on a first-come-first-serve basis. My prices are very competitive and reflect the fact that I like to work all the time. You won't get friendlier service or better communication from any entertainer anywhere. During a 3-hour job I will usually not even take a break. I don't think the music should ever stop. People often tell me that they've never seen a musician work so hard. (They should see me when I'm practicing my scales!) If I am already booked up on the day you are interested in I will put you in contact with other steel drum players in the area. I know most of them and I will only refer you to the best.

I usually work as a one-man-band. I rarely need to amplify the drums. I can play them loud on the beach or soft in a restaurant. Either way, the sound of the steel drums travels very far. Also, if anyone needs to make a speech I can bring a microphone - no extra charge. I can also supply a battery-powered PA for your beach ceremony for a $50 set-up fee.

I have 4 different sound systems so I'm ready for any situtation. All my equipment is the best money can buy. I can also play on boats or beaches where electricity is not available or amplification is not allowed. I play Jimmy Buffet tunes, Harry Belafonte calypsos, Bob Marley reggaes, salsa, samba, Hawaiian songs, etc. I'll be glad to email you my current song list.

The weather in Florida is unpredictable. Steeldrums need shade from the sun and cover from the rain. The drums will go out of tune if the mid-day sun shines directly into them. Playing them while they are hot will seriously damage the instrument. In other words, I don't need to be in the shade, but the drums do. So please let me know if we are going to need a tent or an umbrella.

I can set up on your patio, in the grass, on your roof, in the sand, or on the bow or your boat. I've done it all!
