Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on November 9, 2009From Phoenix, AZ

Paul played for the cocktail hour of our outdoor wedding reception on 11-7-09. He was AMAZING! Our guests were raving about him all night! He's unbelievably talented and so kind to boot! His level of communication leading up to the reception date was unreal. He did everthing to be sure every song we wanted to hear was played. Just to add to this.... I was a bride from Chicago getting married in Phoenix, so it was a leap of faith to work with someone off the internet. I could NOT have made a better decision. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend for any event!

The next time we have a group event in the area, Paul McDermand will definitely have another gig.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 20, 2009From Phoenix, AZ

Paul helped me celebrate the most important day in any girls life - their wedding day!!! Paul made the day absolutly perfect and all I heard the next day was how unique and amazing the steel drums were! He learned my processional song for me (the Feather theme from Forrest Gump) and it was so beautiful! My reception was at the Valley Ho and Paul was the perfect type of music for this venue. Everyone was dancing at the cocktail reception outside in the middle of June because his music is so much fun! Thank you again for being part of our wedding and making it the most perfect day in my life so far Paul!

Paul literally made the event. His talent is beyond belief, and his laid-back yet extremely professional demeanor made him a joy to work with. I would, without hesitation, recommend Paul for any event. The first annual Bank of America Black History Month celebration wouldn't have been a success without Paul's participation. Thank you!

We have attended other concerts in other venues and he and his band ALWAYS deliver. It is a pleasure to attend one of his events. He connects with whatever audience he is performing for. It is a pleasure to talk with him and his band members.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 10, 2014From Chandler, AZ

Paul was phenomenal! He had kids engaged and he had adults dancing while talking, eating. He played every genre of music, and he catered to the young and old alike. He was the consummate professional and I'm glad that he accepted my request to do my party. Thanks Paul.. YOU ROCK!!

Club EventReviewed on December 14, 2012From Scottsdale, AZ

He delighted our club on many levels. These included his relaxed friendliness, by explaining the history of the steel drum, but most especially his enthusiastic musical performance. He certainly created the right mood for our Holiday luncheon.

Luau PartyReviewed on July 6, 2012From Phoenix, AZ

Paul showed up 30 minutes before the show time, set up efficiently, had a VERY bright demeanor and positive attitude. He was thorough in his performance and I'd recommend him to any assisted living community. It was very relieving to hear a family member say,"Hey, isn't that the guy from the Hyatt?" Apparently, he was recognized and that built more value in him with me.

Retirement PartyReviewed on May 14, 2012From Scottsdale, AZ

I was very pleased with the preformance and performer. His talent and music selections for the theme was right for the gathering of 26 guests in the small patio yard. He provided great background music that did not interfere with the guests visiting. It added just the right touch and supported the Hawaiian theme.

Paul was a 7 on a scale of 5. He was terrific on every level. Besides his great music, his personality made our party simply special. Couldn't be more pleased. Thanks

Paul was absolutely perfect for our group. There were severak changes made at the last minute and he rolled with the punches. He was super professional and easy to work with. He really made it about what we wanted and needed rather than what was easist for him. He was beyond talented and has the personality to make get the crowd involved and feel comfortable. Paul rocks!

Private PartyReviewed on April 19, 2010From Phoenix, AZ

All the guests liked him and made several comments to me that he was an excellent choice for my Open House party. Furthermore, several asked him for his card for future events. He is very good nature and has a great personality.
