CelebrationReviewed on August 16, 2010From Linwood, NJ

Cort played a private party at our home for 40+ people. He created the atmosphere and absolutely made the party! He is an excellent singer and played a nice range of reggae-caribbean-even some Beatles! He was so low maintenace, it was unreal. Extremely professional and talented. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to liven up a party and give their guests a real musical experience.

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on July 10, 2010From Manahawkin, NJ

We hired a solo steel drum for our wedding cocktail hour and from what I saw from a performance perspective, which unfortunately wasn't much, he seemed pretty good. However, the booking and the contract work before our event was like pulling teeth. No responses to e-mails and phone calls got to be frustrating. For a simple job like ours I didn't enjoy having to contact them numerous times when I had bigger things to worry about.
