Harry Best and Shabang

Excellent Experience! Harry is truly the BEST… provided a quick professional response, musicians were on time; very polite and provided an outstanding performance for our guests. Truly topped off our outdoor Caribbean themed evening. They were a HIT with all of our guests. Steel drums got the party rockin’ for sure!

I first heard Harry at the Lakeshore Farmers’ Market and have since used his services for a 60^th birthday party at the DoubleTree Berkeley Marina. Throughout the process Harry was very patient with my questions and was very professional. His music during cocktail hour set the «fun» tone as I hoped it would. Will definitely use Harry again in the near future!

Harry is the Best! How original right Harry? :)
I have worked with Harry & Shabang. They are really nice folks who play the steel drums really well. Last summer Harry played ceremony music for a couple in Berkeley & I was an instant fan.
There are a lot of Steel Drum bands out there, but Harry is one of those genuine folks that makes it so great to be around.

Another of the many musical groups performing at this year’s Solano Stroll, Shabang drew me in. I’ve always had a weak spot for steel drum music – it’s pretty much guaranteed to make me smile and put me in a good mood. Their performance was no exception; combined with the warm sun of the afternoon, it let me drift mentally to some Caribbean beach full of bikinis, barbecue, and cool beverages. When I finally realized I was still in Berkeley, the affordability of their CD led me to buy it.

TRIVIA: Steel drums (or more correctly, steelpans, since they aren’t technically drums) derive natively from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. In the late 1930’s, all-​steel bands started becoming popular at Carnival. An international festival, the World Steelband Music Festival, has been held each year in Trinidad since 1952.
