George Zecher "Steel Appeal" was awesome, we had a low key outdoor clambake wedding and the band was perfect for the event. Everyone had a blast! Thanks for taking part in our wedding.

George & Pat where absolutley awsome, they fit in with my family and friends like they new them all, they pick up on so many little things and made everyone feel good there was not a soul who did not truly enjoy the day. I hope in my future I get to be in their presents again. Kathy New Bedford

George Zecher was a pleasure to work with. Professional, curteous, and on time. We had several venue changes and he was so great about it, and the music was fantastic! He did a great job with requests and his attire fit our casual, "islands in the winter" theme. I would highly recommend him and would use him again for my next function.

We had a Tiki party with about 85 guests, hoping to create a relaxing island atmosphere we hired George to play. We couldn't have made a better choice!!!! What a wonderful day we had...George made our party a big hit....they braved a really warm day and were the utmost professionals!!! I would like to thank them for making a day full of memories and would highly recommend them to anyone!!

We were looking for a steel drum band to play background music during our rehearsal dinner clambake. We chose George Zecher because he was from the area, he offered the lowest bid, and our caterer knew and recommended him and his partner. They were absolutely spectacular-- they were both very personable and their song selection was great. They offered exactly what we wished for-- a fun steel-drum sound that would enhance but not overtake our dinner. We will absolutely hire them again as soon as we find an excuse for another party!!

George and company were Awsome! He responded to my initial request quickly, was very reasonably priced and arrived on time to the event. Beyond that, they were fantastic! The music was really, really great, they had a good sense of humor and didn't let the all day long rain get them down at all, which in turn helped all of us enjoy the party even more so than we would have! Thanks so much and I'm certain we'll be booking you again! Sarah San Clemente

In a word - FANTASTIC! I echo all the client testimonials that folks have written before.....George was fabulous! We had George play steel drums accompanied by Pat Cardeiro on guitar/vocals at a biennial event at our home. A GREAT time was had by all. If fact, at the end of the night we convinced George & Pat to stay for an additional set. Our guests just didn’t want them to stop. I will most definitely be asking George to play again and give an unqualified recommendation for him to everyone. Professionalism and high quality musicianship are an unbeatable combination. It doesn’t get any better than this.

George was a very nice performer. He played for my wife's 40th birthday "luau". Our guests commented on how nice his music set the mood for the event...Two thumbs up

I dedicated dinner hour to my father, who could not be at our wedding. I previously sent George a list of songs to play for us, he did. It was a touching hour, he made it even more special. Thankyou George. Ken and Erica

Everyone can't stop raving about how GREAT the band was! George was perfect! He was a pleasure to work with, completely professional and catered to the crowd! We will absolutely use George again and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Steel Drum Band! Numerous comments from the evening included how much they sound like the original singers!!!

George was excellent! We had him play the steel pans for our engagement party last night. We are having a destination wedding on Saint John and we wanted to get everyone in the mood for the islands. He was perfect! We very highly reccommend him. He even wore a tropical shirt for us :) The live music really made all the difference at the party. Kimberly & Michael, Guilford, Connecticut

George was great, we didn't really have any special requests, but I gave him a 10 anyway because I know he would have accomodated us. We hired George to play the steel drums at our cocktail reception for our wedding. He was there, set up and playing even before the first guests arrived early. Never had any problems....very professional and never had to worry about anything. All of our guests thought it was a great touch to have the steel drums playing out at the beach.
