They have performed at festivals in Chicago, St. Louis, Athens, Montreal and Trinidad, and many clubs and private events.

Anniversary Party
in Dexter, MI

"The band was excellent. They sounded great, accomodated requests, took very few breaks, interacted with our guests and were a delight. I would not hesitate to hire them again."
- Roseanne A.
Graduation Party
in Winnetka, IL
on 05/20/2006
"Steelin" Jazz is a fabulous Steel Band which plays Carribean music but also many jazz standards in their distinctive, joyful style. We had them for an intimate gathering of friends at an afternoon barbecue and our next door neighbors loved them as much as we did, opening up all their windows to better hear them. The band's music was not too loud so that people could still chat with one another. They made the occasion a very special event. Our next door neighbors asked for their card since they want to have them for a party of theirs."

"They are absolutely amazing. I was a little hesitant ordering a "band" online - but I ended up extremely impressed. I want to have a party every year just to have them perform - it was perfect and I highly recommend them. I can't wait to see them again!!! Thank you!!"

Wedding

"Stellin' Jazz made our event something it would have never been without them! They are top notch musicians, show the highest level of professionalism, and gave our wedding a soundtrack which we will never forget. If ever we needed to hire another band we would re-hire Steelin' Jazz in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!"
