Feedback

  • As a first time party planner, I was very, very pleased with Ashton's solo steel drum playing. He was professional, on time (with time to spare), courteous and sooo talented!!! I would definitely hire him again in the future. He is definitely a "Class Act"! Thanks again Ashton. Patrice Petals by Patrice Floral Designs www.petalsbypatrice.com -- Patrice D, Sacramento, CA, 11/6/2008
  • We were completely delighted with Ashton's performance. He arrived on time and completely prepared. He was gracious and accomodating and knew just the right pacing and sound for our crowd. Many people took his card and I received many compliments on Ashton's music throughout and following his performance. -- Pam C, San Jose, CA, 8/29/2008
  • Ashton and his band were absolutely fantastic! They were not only easy to work with, they showed up on time and set up quietly without any fuss. Everyone was very professional and courteous. But the best part, and the reason we hired them, was the music!! It was just what we wanted, very tropical and fun. Lots of songs everyone knew, with reggae mixed in, and the steel drums were beautiful. One of the guys got down and danced with the audience, encouraging everyone to join in and have fun. This was a mixed group, lots of international folks, all ages. We loved them - thank you Ashton and band!! -- Jan K, San Jose, CA, 10/16/2011
  • Very professional, very talented! I would highly recommend them! -- Annette M, San Jose, CA, 5/1/2010
  • What a wonderful and energetic performance by the Ashton Craig Duo before our group of 60 most of whom have traveled to the Carribean. The haunting sounds of the steel drum evoked happy memories of their various trips there, and many had requests which were graciously complied with. Ashton is so personable that he established a great rapport with an attentive audience. Some purchased a CD afterwards, but only after asking if they were available when many had already left. The duo was great and their talent appreciated; we extend Kudos and plaudits to a winning performance. Geri M. Program Chair, Allied Arts of Sacramento -- Geri M, Sacramento, CA, 4/6/2010
  • Outstanding! Excellent! Both the music and his professionalism were absolutely outstanding and excellent! Aeolian will hire him again for all our events, in a heart beat!! He and his keyboard man were enjoyed by 150 people, all taking down his contact number. We loved him!!! He certainly lived up to his contract with us! HE IS GREAT!! Jeanette Clark Aeolian Yacht Club Vice Commodore 510-456-5911 -- Jeanette C, Alameda, CA, 8/21/2010
  • What a find! They drove from the Bay Area to Davis, CA and performed in 100 degree weather for our annual company picnic. They arrived an hour early and were very organized. If you need a steel drum band hire them, you will be very pleased. Thanks for making our picnic a success. -- Jesse S, Davis, CA, 6/27/2010
  • We held a Caribbean Party for my father's 75th birthday. We had a mix crowd and Ashton definitely entertained our guests of all ages! His performance was great and everyone had a blast listening to his music! I would definitely consider hiring Ashton again soon for our next gig! -- Helen E, San Jose, CA, 5/15/2010
  • Positives: They were n=on time and flexible on where they should setup the band etc. Negatives: I thought Ashton was part of the group but he was not. This was a surprise to me since it was not communicated. They were unable to accommodate any song requests. It was bad since we alreday told them that there will be requests. -- Logan S, San Jose, CA, 10/18/2008
  • Ashton was fantastic! Very professional, timely, and the music was incredible. I highly recommend Ashton for any event. -- Michele K, Fairfax, CA, 4/29/2012
