Nigel has been featured on FOX 2 News and Channel 11 (KPLR) News. Whether you want to take a temporary virtual tour in the tropical islands, grab your Margarita, umbrellas, colorful clothes and some island snacks and you ALMOST have the Caribbean in your backyard. Continue to close your eyes, think about your footstep in the sand on the beach, the only thing missing to make this event COMPLETE and memorable is live steel drum music featuring Nigel Thomas from Grenada.
Working as a soloist steel drummer, Nigel has developed a smooth enjoyable playing style which has made him a favorite for everything from small private parties, weddings, graduations, rehearsal dinners, anniversary, engagement, reunion, resorts, hotels, to large public and corporate special events and more!

Feedback
- Nigel was amazing! Our guest can't stop talking about his performance. He entertains and entertains. We love him! Two of our guest booked him for their event. We will be hiring again! -- Stephen K, St Louis, MO, 1/10/2012
- Nigel was extremely professional and easy to work with. He made the booking process very easy, and was a terrific performer. We booked him for an event we had at our restaurant, and he drew in a lot of people from other surrounding restaurants, which really helped us increase sales. We definitely plan on booking him again, and looking forward to working with him in the near future. -- Sarah N, Saint Louis, MO, 5/30/2010
- Nigel was FABULOUS! This was a surprise luau party for my husband's birthday. Nigel took the time and patience to teach my 9 year old how to play Happy Birthday on the steel drum for my husband's arrival. My daughter did the hula while my son played. It was a huge hit! Nigel's energy and talent set the tone for the whole party. Everyone loved him! Nigel even taught my husband a song! I just can't sing enough of his praises. He was the best! I would recommend him for any event! Thank you Nigel! -- Stacy R, Collierville, TN, 9/5/2009
- We are a retail store and hired Nigel Thomas to perform on our indoor stage during our Grand Opening festivities. Nigel arrived early and even asked if he could start early. He was full of energy and was definitely entertaining. Our customers loved the steel drum and he is very talented with a wide range of songs to perform. I definitely recommend Nigel for any event. -- Kathy W, Lake Saint Louis, MO, 8/29/2009
