Review by Kristen D.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on May 27, 2024•From Ocean Isle Beach, NC

Mike was an outstanding addition to our event. Not only is he a talented musician offering a great variety, he is friendly, upbeat and enthusiastic! An absolute professional and a joy to work with. I only hope I will have the opportunity to be in his presence very, very soon.

Mike Rooney Steel Drums:

Kristen and Dennis' party was a pleasure to play for. They were so hospitable to me. On top of that, they are awesome people.

Celebration•Reviewed on September 2, 2019•From Cary, NC

Calypso Kid was phenomenal. He was professional, prompt, his communication before the event was excellent and overall he was fantastic. The music was great, he's very talented, and did a great job going with the vibe and mood of our party. He took requests and got a few guests into the band by letting them play or sing along. Mike was an absolute joy to work with. I'll never throw another party without him!!! Thank you, Calypso Kid for a truly memorable day!!! Carrie and Mike Willis

Review by Cynthia M.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 10, 2019•From New Bern, NC

We had a very special event for a wide age range (infant to 86). Calypso Kid engaged all the age groups (even the teens) and was the highlight of the party. The steel drums are special to us and Calypso Kid brought them in and made the evening magic not only for us but for the little girls peering over their fence and entire neighborhood. Thank you!

Mike Rooney Steel Drums:

Thanks for the great review. Enjoyed playing for your special event!
