DESCRIPTION:
Trinidad North Steel Band is a father and son duo. David is a master steelpan builder, tuner, player and arranger. Since 1985, he has built steel orchestra programs through out the United States and has won prestigious awards (Festival of Masters- Disney) for the tonal quality of the drums he builds at his workshop in Media PA. His 17 year old son Jeremy has been playing drum kit since he was 4. He is a gifted and completely natural drummer with 13 years of formal percussion study to solidify his technique and develop his musicality. For the past 4 years he has taught his own students!
The duo is extremely tight and plays an amazing variety of songs in the soca, calypso, reggae, rock, poplular, and jazz genre. They have played trade shows, corporate events, the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ, prior to the Jimmy Buffet, Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago concerts this summer, wedding receptions, birthdays, backyard island- themed parties and much more. Their reputation in this art form is well established. They are a first class act in every respect and exceedingly easy to work with.

Wonderful.. Wonderful.. Wonderful. Everyone loved the music and the members of the band. Everyone raved on and on to me on how great they thought they were.

We couldn't have been more pleased with Trinidad North! Our guests raved about their music, and they were the perfect choice for our tropical-themed event. Their music was perfect since it was loud enough to be heard, but no so loud that our guests had to talk over them. They were also a pleasure to work with, and were highly professional.

Trinidad North played for the cocktail hour at our wedding. I was extremely happy with their performance and the planning could not have gone smoother. David was the nicest person to work with, replied quickly to all of my questions, and was completely accomodating to all of our needs. We were not the only ones impressed with them, before cocktail hour even ended we had a handful of guests requesting their card!

David is a very pleasant person to speak with seems just all around easy going. We had a wonderful time at our picnic. Many people commented on different it was a loved. They gave us a CD as a gift which we played over and over and over after they had to leave. Two people asked how to contact the band and I gave out business cards. It is refreshing to be able to do something different--not a DJ!- and as affordable! I am glad I found them.

We invited the Trinidad Norht Steel Band to perform during our lunch times with our elementary students. The band played for three hours and was seen by over 450 people during that time. It was a wonderful experience. Dave did an outstanding job explaining the drums to the students and had them all up dancing. I am still receiving compliments from parents, students and staff. It was a great day and we are already looking forward to next year.

David was a wonderful person to deal with both professionally and socially. He mingled with the crowd and even hung out a bit at the end and played music for our guests to limbo! His partner was equally as nice (and talented) and they did a wonderful job of gradually picking the music up so that the crowd could get comfortable and talk easily over the music. I would highly recommend them and can't wait to use them again!!!

David and his son are excellent musicians with a wide repertoir and were great to work with for our event. All of our guests commented about how much they enjoyed their performance. We'd definitely hire them again and strongly recommend them to others.
