DESCRIPTION:
***Winner of the 2007 Gigmasters Rising Star Award for Top Steel Drum Band in North America*** The Caribbean Crew is the first band to be booked 200 times on Gigmasters!!! We are the highest rated and most frequently hired Caribbean/Reggae/Steel Drum Band in Orlando, Florida and the entire country. We are proud to have some of the top steel drum players and musicians in all of Florida. We specialize in both Beach Weddings and Traditional Weddings (over 50 weddings a year), corporate events, conventions, house parties, holiday parties, and entertainment for any other special occasion. Whether you are having a tropical-themed party, or just like the sweet sounds of the steel drum, the Caribbean Crew is the band for you. We invite you to take advantage of the great Florida weather and have some tropical, Caribbean Steel Drum Music at your next event. It's the closest thing to the islands!
The Caribbean Crew is well known for their high-energy and interactive performances. The musicians are all from the islands, giving you an authentic, Caribbean sound. While on stage, the Crew teaches different dances to the crowd, as well as many other 'follow-me' routines. The band is very professional, both in their attire, and approach to every event. The Caribbean Crew always arrives early and starts on time!
The Caribbean Crew offers a wide variety of original and cover music, from traditional reggae and calypso, to modern day soca and dancehall. We also perform some Top 40 hits, folk songs, Jimmy Buffet selections, traditional wedding ceremony music and other popular wedding songs. During the holidays, we can perform traditional Christmas Carols and other Christmas and Holiday Songs on the steel drums. The Caribbean Crew can be as small as a solo steel drum player, or as large as a five-piece act. It all depends on the size of the event and the available budget. All acts include a steel drum player, which is a novelty instrument and something that your guests will really like.
Past appearances as well as upcoming appearances are too numerous to list in the sections below, as the band does over 300 shows per year. Some of the satisfied clients include Universal Studios, Walt Disney World, The Orlando Magic, Budweiser, Coca Cola International, HBO, BET, SWAT, British Airways, 4H Club of America, Orlando International Airport, University of Central Florida, University of Florida, University of South Florida, University of Tampa, South Dakota State University, Stetson University, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Webber College, Rollins College, Church Street Station, City of Orlando, City of Tampa, City of St. Petersburg, City of Jacksonville, City of Miami, City of Tallahassee, City of Cocoa, City of Kissimmee, City of Deltona, Mix 105.1 FM and 102 Jamz (101.9FM). They have also performed at hundreds of private events, including weddings, pool parties and house parties.
The Caribbean Crew has performed alongside reggae superstars Shaggy, Inner Circle, Ziggy Marley and Sean Paul: R&B performers Next and Tyrese; and even the rock band Sister Hazel. Performances have taken us as far as New York, South Dakota, Atlanta and throughout the Caribbean. No matter what the occasion, or where it may be, The Caribbean Crew welcomes the opportunity to perform at your event!

I love these guys. Its the second time we have used Caribbean Crew and both times had the pleasure of getting Noel and Xavier. They have always showed up and been ready to play on time. Their professionalism and talent are exceptional. We've had two great parties thanks to them. A lot of our guest have commented on the great music they play. Will definitely use them over and over again. Thanks again guys .

They are AWESOME!!! My guests could not stop raving about them. What a fun and friendly group of guys. I strongly recommend. You won't be sorry.

We were honored to have Caribbean Crew perform for our 30th anniversary and renewal of vows in St. Augustine Beach on July 6, 2007. They were incredible!!! I am still getting compliments on the band and we all cannot wait for their CD to come out later this summer so we can listen to them anytime. They were entertaining for all ages (we had ages one year to 84). They even got my Dad on the dance floor (and smiling) and he has not done that in years since he had a stroke. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are!!!

Caribbean Crew was excellent at our wedding, they were professional, punctual and very entertaining. We were very happy with them, and our guests loved them too. We would definitily recommend them!
--Virginia C. Islamorada, FL 5/20/2007
They are the best! We hired Caribbean Crew for a corporate event and they were awesome! They were very easy to deal with from the booking of the event up through the event. Creig called several times to make sure he had all the details in order and even e-mailed me the next day to make sure we were happy with their performance. They arrived early and were set to play on time. Caribbean Crew plays a variety of music and is an amazing steel drum band. I can't imagine there is a better band out there. They had people dancing and everyone was disappointed when the event was over. I would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great steel drum band.
--Dianne R. Bonita Springs, FL 10/25/2006
From the beginning of dealing with their manager we were impressed at how professional the group was. They arrived early and performed exceptional. Having traveled all over and having heard many other steel drum bands, they were by far the best. Numerous guests requested their cards at the event because they were so fantastic. My family and I would highly recommend them without any hesitation. Thank you for making this such a fantastic event for our son's Bar Mitzvah. The Ramras Family

The Caribbean Crew played at our wedding on June 17, 2006. They were outstanding! They had everyone up and dancing and having a great time. Even the catering staff and bartenders were dancing! We've received rave reviews from our guests as well. The Caribbean Crew set the perfect tone for our outdoor wedding by the sea and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band with a great island groove.
Thanks again,

We hired The Caribbean Crew for our poolside "Luau" and birthday party for my wife in Lido Key, (Sarasota) Florida. I can only say that they were fabulous and delivered more than expected as far as their music and professionalism. They arrived ahead of time and started their first set right on schedule, with a great attitude and providing a fun environment with their upbeat music. The steel drum was a hit with everyone, their vocals were right on, and I can highly recommend this band to anyone looking to enhance their party with great entertainment! If you desire more information, please feel free to e-mail me at dmarr@veritasrealty.com.

Our had our Annual conference at the Saddlebrook Resort-Tampa and was fortunate to find The Caribbean Crew from the GigMasters web site. They were fantastic! The selection of Island music as well as "requested" music was the best. Chesley, the group leader was very professional and accommodating to our group and I might add, an excellent singer. I highly recommend this group for any company function or personal function. They arrived on time was set up ready to go at the appointed hour.

The Caribbean Crew was the perfect compliment to our organization's Tiki party. Very professional, top notch musicians, pro sound system, and most important, very accomodating and easy to work with. Their song selection was right on target and set the tone for the evening. I would highly recommend the group and will use them again at our next Orlando event.
--Mark D. Orlando, FL 9/29/2005
We loved the Caribbean Crew and heard nothing but wonderful things about them from our guests. My family (I'm one of 11 children) loves to dance and they said they never had greater time, and that ours was the best wedding they had ever been to. They were dancin' in the rain! Noel is such a warm and friendly guy and he charmed the heck out of us all - we adored him and his fellow band memebers. The Caribbean Crew helped to create a magical evening with a lifetime of beautiful and heartwarming memories. We are truly indebted.

We knew The Carribean Crew would be perfect for us and they were. We knew that they would be flexible and work with whatever the audience turned out to be, and they did. We had high expectations, not because we necessarily should have, but because we felt good that we had found a great band. We were not disappointed. We had a great time. There was no need to oversell themselves. They presented a great product and then delivered it. Thank you to Creig and The Carribean Crew.
--Roy S. Savannah, GA 8/13/2005
We were very pleased with The Caribbean Crew. They were punctual and professional and the perfect addition to our party. I will definitely keep them in mind for future bookings.
--Valerie G. Atlantic Beach, FL 7/30/2005
The caribbean Crew really made our party. We had a diverse age range for our reception and they were able to make everyone happy! I know that for our next party we will not think twice about booking them again. They were so professional and talented. I don't think my husband and I could say enough about them! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
--Karen L. Tampa, FL 7/9/2005
Caribbean Crew was fantastic! They did a great job with our audience, keeping them entertained and educating them about caribbean music and steel drums. We loved them and have already asked them back for next year!

I hired a steel drummer for my 90 guest wedding (Chesley). When I contacted Craig off the website, he was very prompt in his response. Every time I contacted him he returned my call or email within a day or so. He helped me decide how many drummers would be appropriate for our event and was very accomodating to all of my requests. I always felt that our event was very imporant to Craig, eventhough it was small (not the experience I had with my other vendors). On the day of the wedding, Chesley was prompt, and very pleasant. He was definitely the hit of the wedding!!! A few weeks after the wedding, people are still telling me how great he was and how unique it made the wedding. I would hire The Caribbean Crew again in a heartbeat!!! I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great organization for their event!!!
