"The Tsunami Wave Riders were everything we were looking for and more. We wanted to have a tropical back for our "End of Summer Beach Bash" Company Picnic. Not only did they perform for us throughout our event, they interacted with us as well. They tried to teach several of our associates how to hula which made for some funny moments that we will all be laughing about for some time to come. They were professional, affordable, accomodating, and most of all...talented. "

"Island Dreamin' was so much fun for our surprise backyard 50th birthday party. They played the perfect music with dinner and then kicked it up and had the crowd dancing early in the party. They are super nice and fun and professional the whole way thru. The crowd LOVED them as much as we did! I wish I could have a party every month just to have the Island Dreamin' gang here that often! Thank you so much for making the party perfect!!!

"Island Dreamin' (The Tsunami Wave Riders) were the best! This was a corporate meeting that we were looking for something a little special and out of the ordinary to go with the barbecue type dinner we had planned and they were perfect. They gave the whole affair the exact ambiance that we were looking for. They are extremely professional and I would recommend for any type of event."

"Ronnie and his group were wonderful! They arrived in plenty of time to set up; were so friendly and accomodating to the wide variety of folks attending our fundraiser with all kinds of requests for different songs. The comments from our guest were all complementary! I did not hear one negative comment. They were also gracious to a group of exibition dancers who preformed a Salsa number while the band took a 15 minute break by letting them hook their I-Pod to the bands sound system. I would definitly hire them again! Professionals and a genuinely fun group! They celebrated their 7th year as a group the day before our event!"
