  • Ephraim, with RythmTrail Steel Drum Band, did a wonderful job performing at my son’s high school graduation party. Many guests were visiting from the North, and his music really helped to enhance the tropical theme!! In addition, the booking process was simple and he arrived early to set up and was very pleasant to all the guests.

  • Thank you so much for providing such a fabulous time at our wedding – the music was fantastic, fun and a surprise for our guests.

    I have always loved the sound of the steel drum but was not sure if it would work well in a wedding environment – once I heard you start I knew I had made the right choice. Your professionalism is a stand out in your business….planning and choosing music via email could have been a problem – with your group it was a pleasant surprise.

  • When our dear friend lost his battle with cancer at age 42 we were left to grapple both with his loss and with his wish not to have a funeral or memorial service. Instead we decided to throw a party in celebration of his life, and his love of cruise vacations provided the theme for the evening. I was apprehensive about hiring a steel drum band because I didn’t want the occasion to be too over-the-top, or to seem disrespectful. When you came to set up and we discussed the situation I could tell immediately that you “got it”. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with your professionalism and with your sensitivity toward the occasion. You set exactly the right tone throughout the evening, giving us just the atmospheric cruise ship “pool deck” feel that we wanted, and that our friend would have greatly enjoyed. Thank you so much for making the entire evening extremely special for all of us!

  • Ephraim, thank you for the fabulous music at our event on Bonita Beach. It was the perfect evening for our beach party – gentle gulf breeze, great food and drinks and the sounds of the steel drums to add the finishing touch. Not knowing we had Ephraim himself, I asked what his name was so I could relate to Ephraim how much we enjoyed the entertainment. He just smiled and said “I am Ephraim”. RythmTrail is absolutely professional and courteous from the initial contact, to the contract and finally the performance. I will use RythmTrail again for our condo parties.

  • We were *very* pleased with our whole RythmTrail experience. Our performer Lawrence called to confirm that he was on his way the day of -which gave us piece of mind. He was prompt, friendly and played a great variety of songs. The volume was perfect: the guests could converse comfortably and still enjoy the live music. It made for a wonderful event and we would highly recommend RythmTrail Steel Drum Band!

  • I had the pleasure of working with RythmTrail Steel Drum Band for the first time on October 1, 2013. I had booked the Trio and they were very professional, on time and went above and beyond the call of the contract. The bands stage area was switched 3 different times and Ephraim and the rest of the band were very accommodating with all the confusion. The band sounds great and has the Island Groove Sound! I would definitely use them again and again and thank you for a great night!

  • Found the artist very respectful, kind and courteous He was an excellent performer and really set the mood for our Luau theme party. He was set up to go almost an hour before he was supposed to, and started playing almost 30 mins before I had asked him to (which was a great thing). He was easy to work with, and knew all the songs I would have expected him to perform. He commanded a stage presence and was very friendly. I would definitely rehire Steel Drum Band RythmTrail for any other Beach/Caribbean themed party we ever have. Very professional company and easy to work with. Very good in staying in contact with there clients and the online automated system for placing a deposit and paying for the event is very simple and easy to use.

  • Ephraim was great! One of the greatest fears with a destination wedding is hoping that everyone will come through. Ephraim was on time, professional and very entertaining for us and our guests. Having him was a unique addition to our wedding we will never forget, and we would highly recommend him to anyone. Everyone absolutely loved him!

    Again thank you so much for making our wedding a day we’ll never forget!!

  • We had one person on steel drums from RythmTrail for our family reunion at Tuckaway Shores Resort and couldn’t have been more pleased. Everyone enjoyed his music and he was extremely friendly and never hurried to leave at 9pm. I would highly recommend this group to anyone interested in steel drums for that tropical Caribbean ambiance.

  • Eric and I would like to give you huge thanks for playing at our wedding 7/8/12. I personally appreciated you were on time and you played beautifully. My guests can’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed your music during the cocktail hour and later on when you played “Is This Love” for Eric and I alone as the sun set! It was a memory for a lifetime!

    May God continue blessing you.

  • We want to thank you for your outstanding service at our daughter’s wedding. You were prompt, courteous, and professional. We all truly enjoyed the music. My only regret is I should have asked if you would stay and extend your playing since it was enjoying and set the tone.

    Thanks so much and we loved the music.
