Description
SOL PARTY is a Caribbean music solo or duo with backing tracks, providing a full Island-band sound; based in Phoenix, Arizona. Mark Dolin sings and plays steel drum, sax, flute and keyboards. Mark was chosen to open for "The Beach Boys" in the summer of 2008! His island-band experience includes "Search Party," a popular Boston-based Caribbean band that appeared on "Star Search" and recorded original island-flavored music. Mark has entertained for many years in the greater Phoenix area, playing steel drum music for Bahama Breeze, Tommy Bahama's and the finest Arizona resorts and back-yard Caribbean and Luau parties. Mr. Dolin prides himself in his ability to read the audience and play the right songs at the right time. When it comes to parties, experience is everything. Mark has delighted audiences at hundreds of events.
Kaufee Johnson is a wonderful vocalist. Her fun spirit and superior talent come through in every song. Kaufee's vast experience includes singing with the world-famous "Marvelletts" ("Please Mr. Postman," Beechwood,") performing on the best cruise-lines (Princess, Royal Caribbean), vocals with Billy Paul and Al Wilson, and playing Vegas Hotels and Casinos - the likes of MGM Grand, Venetian, Mandalay Bay and The Bellagio.
This band will bring the "fun-in-the-sun" to your party!

- Mark came early to check it out. He is so very talanted and a joy to listen to. I love that there is no age group for the steel drum. Everyone loved his music. You wanted to dance your way thru the crowd. He's a really nice guy. Would I hire hime again? Yes. and also recomend him. -- Barbara Z, Phoenix, AZ, 4/20/2012
- My 30th birthday luau wouldn't have been complete without Mark! We had so much fun listening to his music. He is so talented and has a great voice! I would definitely recommend him for your next party! -- Trevor F, Gilbert, AZ, 4/28/2012
- Mark was the perfect touch to a perfect day of grilling, drinking and backyard pool fun for 16 friends and family over the 4th of July weekend. His music kicked the party up and gave everyone the energy needed to have a good time in the AZ heat. He arrived about an hour before show time and seamlessly set up his equipment and started jamming to the good feeling sounds of summer. Mark was great to work with and I would recommend him as entertainment to anyone I know. -- Michael P, Scottsdale, AZ, 7/3/2011
- Mark is incredible!!! Our party was an absolute hit... He was amazing and everyone complimented him and said that he MADE the party!! We will definitely use him again and are so blessed we found him... Thank you! -- Kelli M, Scottsdale, AZ, 10/9/2010
- The Sol Party Band, steel drum band performed a variety of music, south seas, reggae, soft jazz, and learned special requests and incorporated them into the evening music. They were very thoughtful to the timing of their music to the dinner hour, dancing. The music was lively, had a great tempo and was fun to dance and sing to. Mark was at the steel drum and Kaufee and Mark sang beautifully together. Our party was at the Phoenician Resort in the sunset room. We highly recommend them to liven up a party and get peopleout on the dance floor.

- Mark was very nice to work with. He was very responsive prior to the party. He came an hour before the party to set up. He played many instruments and many guests asked for his card. Everyone thought he did a great job. Thanks Mark! -- Christine Z, Chandler, AZ, 5/15/2010
