CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

We hired Jason to perform at our annual event with "An Island Adventure" theme. He was the perfect addition to our day. With over 500 guests in attendance, Jason's steel drumming provided entertainment and serenity to a crowd that included many adults with developmental disabilites. I especially liked that he allowed curious onlookers (children and adults) the chance to try out his drum! Jason was also very accomodating, having to work around an awards ceremony and sweepstakes drawing. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a steel drummer.

Jason Roseman and the Tropical Gems performed at my daughter's wedding in Newport on Friday, May 19, 2006. We had such a good time! I found Jason and the band members to be highly professional and extremely talented. More than that, their presence was a wonderful addition to our party. My friends have been calling all weekend to tell me what a wonderful time they had and how much they enjoyed the music! We danced all night.

Jason was able to take my ideas for my wedding & reception and make them reality. He and his band worked with my wedding planner and was able to iron out any issues about the event making it better than I could have imagined. My guests were all very impressed and enjoyed themselves emensely. The kids also loved him and his band. THANK YOU!

I can't say enough about Jason Roseman, He was Phenomenal! We hired Jason (accompanied by a guitarist) to play during the coctail hour of our Carribbean themed post-wedding reception. That day was a bit stressful for me, I was doing most of the decorating and unfortunately I was running behind. So much so, that I arrived 40 mins late to my own cocktail hour. To top it off, the chef told us that dinner was also running a 1/2 hour late. I aked my husband to see is Jason could stay a little longer then originally planned. As it turned out my husband never had to ask. Jason sensed that there was a bit of a delay and just kept on playing until our dinner was ready. He is a true profesional. I have to say it was the most enjoyable time of the night for me. It brought me back to Jamaica, where my Husband and I were married. Jason was a huge hit, Everyone loved them! Absolutely loved them!!!! I can't wait to have another event where I can hire Jason and all of his Tropical Gems. Thank You Again :) The Muscarella's Uncasville, CT

We just got married at the Popponessett Inn on Cape Cod, on 4-22-06. WE hired just Jason Roseman solo to play- and he far exceeded our expectations! He was extremely accomodating. He played for longer than a typical set in order to accomodate our dinner times, and coordinating with the DJ. In addition, he was always accessible for questions through e-mail, and was pleasant to deal with. I can't say enough about his performance. He really helped us capture the ambiance we were going for, and he played La Isla Bonita- my favorite Madonna song. The song choices were a perfect mix for the crowd, and the venue! We'd like to have another party- just to have him play! Thanks so much Jason for making our wedding so special!!
