Description

"Hot Caribbean Rhythms & Cool Tropical Grooves!"

**BOOKING UP FAST FOR THE HOLIDAYS!**

The Island Boogie Steel Drum Band, the premiere steel band in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, is the perfect solution for your next private function or themed event! We can infuse any setting with the festive Caribbean sound of steel drums.

Our vast collection of tunes is drawn from a variety of popular and tropical styles--including Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Salsa, and Jimmy Buffett--to accommodate your specific musical tastes. As such, Island Boogie boasts the flexibility to project whatever atmosphere your situation necessitates: fun & energetic, light & laid-back, jazzy & cerebral, or anything in between.

To fully satisfy your vision for the event, we offer many different personnel arrangements, with or without a singer, from an acoustic steel pan duo to a large show band that is guaranteed to get your party hopping and dance floor shaking. Every performance is custom-tailored to your needs; just let us know what will inspire your audience to boogie!

Feedback

  • Island Boogie was fabulous. They were so easy to work with, they showed up on time, set up quickly and began to play. They were wonderful and added so much to our party! I would hire them again and again. -- Barbara H, Dallas, TX, 5/11/2009
  • Island Boogie was PERFECT! They were so professional and they were (as requested) very low-key. Though this was only a 30 or so person party, they knew exactly how to play it, making our party a total success. I told them as I left that I would be thinking of an excuse to hire them again as soon as possible. I highly recommend Island Boogie - they made our tropical themed backyard birthday party very memorable for everyone. -- Kimber S, Frisco, TX, 5/30/2009
