Bob Lyons' Steel Drum Music

We hired Bob Lyons as our steel drum player and wedding DJ for our May 2025 wedding in Key Largo, and he was absolutely fantastic! His steel drum performance before the ceremony and during our cocktail hour instantly set the perfect island vibe for our guests—it felt like the Keys came alive through his music.

When dinner began, Bob seamlessly transitioned into DJ mode, providing the perfect background music to set the tone. He then MC’d our special introductions and first dances with professionalism and great energy. Once the dance floor opened, it stayed packed all night thanks to his DJ skills, fun atmosphere, and mood lighting that really brought the party to life.

Bob is incredibly talented, versatile, and easy to work with. If you’re getting married in the Keys—or planning any special event—I highly recommend hiring him. Thank you for everything, Bob, for making our wedding soundtrack absolutely unforgettable!

We LOVED having Bob play the ukulele at our Florida beach wedding!! He went above and beyond of learning new songs we requested for our wedding ceremony & played those songs beautifully!! Everyone loved having him there & he created the vibe we were hoping and dreaming of for our beach wedding!! So happy we found him & had him at our wedding!! Highly recommend!!

Bob Lyons played at our Welcome Cocktail Party which was an event preceding my son's wedding. Bob was easy to work with during our conversations leading up to the wedding. On the day of the event, Bob arrived early as he said he would and was completely set up and started providing music 15 minutes before guests we even scheduled to arrive. He provided a array of songs, all performed in the "island vibe" mixing steel drums, background music and ukulele. Many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Bob also responded to guests who spoke to him - in a way that was friendly, upbeat and very congenial. If I have the opportunity to host another event, Bob is at the top of my list to hire. Thank you Bob for an outstanding evening of music!!

Bob was amazing for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! He was exactly what we were looking for and all of our guests loved him.
