Most Wonderful Wedding Imaginable - Hire Bob!

I couldn't recommend more as Bob is one of the most talented, flexible and accommodating people I have ever had the pleasure of working with in the industry. While I have been in the service industry for multiple decades and previously a banquet manager, I can say with upmost confidence that Bob is by far the best musician I have ever heard and I can't explain how lucky I am to have had him play at my own wedding. He can pick up anything and play music that all of your wedding guests will find themselves singing (or in my case screaming) to. I can't recommend Bob enough as he is beyond talented and while you might think that steel drums might just be background music and not necessarily sound like the original songs, not the case with Bob, I literally can not explain how talented and wonderful Bob made my wedding. He is a bit of everything but beyond talented and professional in all areas. Hire him if you want your dream wedding to come true!

Must Book!!!!

Bob Lyons was the perfect addition to our day! We had Bob play ukulele for our ceremony and steel drums for cocktail hour. He is so talented, thoughtful and collaborative. He had a wide range of songs to help decide what we would like for our ceremony. He happily played our favorites and created the perfect atmosphere with his additions to cocktail hour. Absolutely book Bob for your cocktail hour, ceremony, wedding, parties.

Perfect for beach wedding/reception

Bob played steel drums for our daughter's beach wedding reception, and it was such a wonderful vibe! We also asked Bob to DJ at the event, and are so glad we did. Bob is easy to work with, responds quickly, and is flexible with the play list. Highly recommend.
