• Paul deserves all 5 stars. He was incredibly professional and easy to work with, his music enhanced our event and we had many compliments on the atmosphere that he created. I will be requesting him for our next event- no question. He did an outsatnding job. -- Lisa F, Tempe, AZ, 10/22/2011
• Paul was a 7 on a scale of 5. He was terrific on every level. Besides his great music, his personality made our party simply special. Couldn't be more pleased. Thanks -- Joseph R, Scottsdale, AZ, 3/31/2012
• I was very pleased with the preformance and performer. His talent and music selections for the theme was right for the gathering of 26 guests in the small patio yard. He provided great background music that did not interfere with the guests visiting. It added just the right touch and supported the Hawaiian theme. -- Jennifer B, Scottsdale, AZ, 4/28/2012
• Paul played for the cocktail hour of our outdoor wedding reception on 11-7-09. He was AMAZING! Our guests were raving about him all night! He's unbelievably talented and so kind to boot! His level of communication leading up to the reception date was unreal. He did everthing to be sure every song we wanted to hear was played. Just to add to this.... I was a bride from Chicago getting married in Phoenix, so it was a leap of faith to work with someone off the internet. I could NOT have made a better decision. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend for any event! -- Jen M, Phoenix, AZ, 11/7/2009
• The next time we have a group event in the area, Paul McDermand will definitely have another gig. -- Wickey E, Scottsdale, AZ, 8/30/2009
• Paul helped me celebrate the most important day in any girls life - their wedding day!!! Paul made the day absolutly perfect and all I heard the next day was how unique and amazing the steel drums were! He learned my processional song for me (the Feather theme from Forrest Gump) and it was so beautiful! My reception was at the Valley Ho and Paul was the perfect type of music for this venue. Everyone was dancing at the cocktail reception outside in the middle of June because his music is so much fun! Thank you again for being part of our wedding and making it the most perfect day in my life so far Paul! -- Kristin B, Phoenix, AZ, 6/20/2009
• Paul literally made the event. His talent is beyond belief, and his laid-back yet extremely professional demeanor made him a joy to work with. I would, without hesitation, recommend Paul for any event. The first annual Bank of America Black History Month celebration wouldn't have been a success without Paul's participation. Thank you! -- Kedren D, Phoenix, AZ, 1/22/2009
• We have attended other concerts in other venues and he and his band ALWAYS deliver. It is a pleasure to attend one of his events. He connects with whatever audience he is performing for. It is a pleasure to talk with him and his band members. -- Rena R, Gilbert, AZ, 12/17/2008
