• This event was a backyard wedding and Luau + Pig Roast with multiple families and all ages 2-84 numbering 150. Everyone LOVED Steel Away and I would definitely hire them again and will definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for wonderful entertaining music. Kyle and all the band members were extremely solicitous and adaptable to our requirements. Steel away members arrived and set up quickly in a timely fashion. All members were appropriately dressed and all were very mannerly. We couldn't have asked for more. Did I happen to mention that we LOVED Steel Away!! -- Susan B, Elizabethtown, KY, 6/11/2011
• Excellent performance, tailored their sets to accommodate the crowd, very professional. I would highly recommend them to any one looking for a outdoors, pool or lawn party with guest of various music taste, age and style. -- Steve J, Canal Winchester, OH, 8/28/2010
• Steel Away was fantastic. Kyle was completely accommodating to work with our schedule with his start time, break time, etc. The music was awesome, it really set the tone for the night exactly how I pictured it! Thanks again! -- Peter M, Celina, OH, 7/30/2010
• Kyle was awesome! He answered all of my questions/concerns before we even met. Our corporate picnic was held at a park with no electrical outlets, and therefore I was concerned about hearing the music. Kyle suggested 2-steel drums, and he was absolutely right. The music was awesome and loud enough for all to enjoy. He even allowed some of our young guests (kids) to practice a little on the steel drums. I would highly reccommend Steel Away!!!! -- Claran Q, Ann Arbor, MI, 7/18/2010
• Steel Away did a great job at our daughters engagement party. They arrived well ahead of time and were very well mannered and polite. They played for three and a half hours and only took one 10 minite break. The volume of the music was perfect, easy to hear but not overwhelming. I strongly recommend them for your party. -- Tom S, Port Clinton, OH, 8/14/2010
• The only thing missing was a beach and ocean. -- Carol M, Georgetown, OH, 7/30/2011
• Steel Away set the mood for our luau! Their performance tied in with the decorations, beverages, and food perfectly. Guests enjoyed their music while mingling and visiting. They were punctual and friendly. I highly recommend hiring them for any occasion where an "island" feel is needed. It was money well spent! -- Karen N, Brookville, IN, 8/12/2011
• Steel Away exceeded our expectations, we had them in high end Hawaiian Laua for my Grandmothers 90th B-Day, we had family in from all over and wanted it to be very special. Their presentation, set-up and overall performance was excellent and made our event exceptionally memorable. Thanks Steel Away!!! You guys are awesome! Clint Frazier -- Clint F, Lebanon, OH, 6/13/2010
• Steel Away really helped to make our daughter's wedding reception a day to remember. There were numerous comments from our guests on how fabulous they were. I had asked for background music and that is exactly what we got- you could still carry on conversation or just sit and listen which many chose to do. I probably had a dozen people ask me where I found them so gigmasters.com should receive numerous hits too. A big thank you to Kyle and the band you were great! -- Joelyn B, Cincinnati, OH, 5/21/2011
• they were tremendous. charming and personable. would definitely book them again. -- Michele D, Hamilton, OH, 9/30/2010
• Stan, our Steel Away performer was perfect for our event. He accommodated special requests and played very well. We had to move inside due to rain and he adjusted the style and volume of music. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed listening and the party would not have been the same without his peformance. -- Martin S, Columbus, OH, 8/14/2010
• Steel Away was a class act @ my Vow Renewal Ceremony. My husband was very impressed being that it was a surprise for him! It took him back to the West Indies were he was born and raised so I was very happy to see the happiness on his face. I would highly recommend Steel Away for your entertainment it was a hit at my event! Kyle Ferguson did a great job and my guests enjoyed the sounds of the carribean! Thank You, Sincerely Andreya Roserie -- Mrs. Andreya R, University Heights, OH, 7/24/2010
• STEEL AWAY (Kyle) was awesome. We had an outdoor graduation event and the music provided was perfect and added such a festive element to our party. Received so many positive comments from our guests and they were high school students! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him highly. Much fun! -- Tammi J, Floyds Knobs, IN, 6/5/2010

• Each member from the band was extremely cooperative and friendly. They were very professional. They came in and set up, let me know what they needed from me and just swept all of our guests off of their feet for the rest of the night. I saw lots of attention being paid to the band, there was an abundance of compliments and overall, our club and our guests were EXTREMELY impressed. Thanks for all of your hard work Steel Away! :) We look forward to working with you again in the future! Take Care, Brittany Dropsey -- Brittany D, Grove City, OH, 8/15/2009
• Wonderful. My only suggestion would have been to put a little stack of business cards discreetly in the corner. I gave away the three that Kyle gave me. Very talented. We would recommend you guys and we hope to have you perform again. John Hoagland -- John H, Louisville, KY, 6/6/2010
• The band was great to work with. I've hired steel drum bands in the past and they are notoriously unreliable. Steel Away was clearly the exception. Kyle stayed in touch the week of the event and the band showed up at the agreed upon time. Their music was perfect for a summer picnic and provided just the right feel. I highly recommend them. -- Kevin K, Lancaster, OH, 6/28/2009
• Steel Away was a fantastic addition to our party. They are great musicians and we were extremely pleased by their professionalism. What an impressive show! -- Tina S, Cincinnati, OH, 6/6/2009
• Wish I had an excuse to hire them again soon... -- Diana T, West Chester, OH, 8/6/2009
• Steel Away performed for my fiance's graduation party and were a major hit. Everyone in attendance was ver complimentary of the musical talent and performance of Steel Away. He was timely and very professional. He also agreed to stay for an additional 30 minutes at a last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking to add engaging talent to their next event! -- Jessica H, Beavercreek, OH, 5/23/2009
• My first experience hiring live performers for one of my company events. I was very please with the overall experience. If fact I would use this group again in the future if the need arises! -- Scott M, Columbus, OH, 6/26/2009
• Steel Away was flexible with their performance time, which I REALLY needed them to be since our event was running a little behind in time. I also found out that they have special props when they know they're going to be playing for small children. I loved their sound, and I loved how they took time out to answer questions. I will DEFINITELY be booking them each year for this event, and any other event where steel drums fits in. -- Christine P, Wpafb, OH, 6/19/2009
• Although the weather was not completely accommodating, they were flexible and put on a great performance. Their music was well performed and was enjoyed by everyone there. -- Chris S, Cincinnati, OH, 6/14/2009

• We were so happy that Steel Away agreed to be a part of our event. I believe their talent is what helped to make the event such a success as they set the mood for the luau theme. Kudos to Steel Away for a job well done. -- Lisa S, Columbus, OH, 6/25/2010
• We had a Caribbean-themed event and they could have not been a better fit. They were timely and professional. They were enjoyed by our audience tremendously and I would not hesitate in asking them to another event again. I would highly recommend this talented group! -- Olivia R, Decatur, IN, 11/6/2010
