Description
Steve Hendrickson is the "Lead Pan Player" for the Carnival Steel Drum Band.
As you listen to the 15 volumes in the best-selling Steel Drum Island Collection, you are hearing Steve playing every melody on his orchestra quality steel drums.
He has performed extensively throughout the Caribbean, United States, Europe and Australia... but is often available for corporate or private functions.
Although Steve is the President of Tropical Music International (and, more importantly, the father of a 5 & 7 year old!) he still makes time to play for special events.
For Weddings... please listen to the "a cappella" clips and the "accompaniment" clips. They showcase what he will sound like at your wedding.
"A cappella" is just Steve playing his steel drums, without anything else! He has played like this at beach weddings, on remote islands in the caribbean, and even on a yacht in Sydney Harbour during the 2000 Olympics... so let your imagination run wild.
"Accompaniment" is more common. He simply use the studio masters from his Steel Drum Island Collection CDs, and plays all of the steel drum parts along with them at your wedding. This creates a very full sound along with the "coolness factor" of having a live steel drum player. Of course, this requires that he has electricity available.
Steve and his family divide their time between Central Florida, The Florida Keys & The Virgin Islands. Therefore, the most important consideration is the date of your event. As soon as you have a date in mind... please contact us and we will check the schedule.

- Steve Hendrickson was the ultimate hit of my party. Not only was his talent and skills outstanding but his personality and engagement with my guests was amazing. I would recommend to anybody looking for the best in live steel drum entertainment to contact Steve. I guarantee that your party will be an absolute success. Not ever hiring a musician before I was apprehensive until dealing with Steve. The process was very easy, painless and certainly stress free. My highest praises to Steve Hendrickson. Mark A. Stevens
