We play primarily Caribbean music (soca and calypso), but we include Latin, jazz, reggae, and also pop. We cover a variety of artists ranging from Harry Belafonte to Bob Marley to various pop artists. We are extremely versatile, and our sets generally have a combination of instrumental and vocal tunes.
What type of event are YOU booking for?
We will provide music for just the right vibe. Whether it's background music, party music, or for a grand reception, Tobago Bay is there for you!
For any engagement of 4 (four) or more hours (including setup and teardown), the Client is expected to provide one meal per Musician, served no later than one-half (1⁄2) hour before performance or at an agreed break. The Client will also supply bottled water and non-alcoholic beverages throughout and may provide alcoholic beverages at its discretion. If on-site meals cannot be provided, the Client shall pay a $25 per Musician meal buy-out fee prior to the performance. Feel free to contact us for more details.
Choosing the right band size depends on your event and preferences. For smaller spaces, a solo or 3-piece often works best. Larger spaces can accommodate a 4-piece or 5-piece ensemble. Consider the vibe you want: a solo or 3-piece for a quiet dinner party, or a larger group for a lively event. Contact us to discuss your options!
This all depends on the size of the band you pick. As you can imagine, the more space the band has, the better. This way they performers can give you the best possible experience. These are the minimumns:
Solo: 6' x 8'
Trio: 10' x 12'
Full Band: 14' x 16'

Our standard is to play for 1 hour, then take 15-minute breaks on the hours. During our breaks, we will provide background music that compliments our sound so the music won't stop unles you want it to! Here's an example of a 3-hour performance starting at 7:00pm...
7:00pm performance starts
8:00pm break
8:15pm peformance resumes
9:00pm break
9:15pm performance resumes
10:00pm finish
We typically wear tropical shirts and khaki or white shorts/pants. For more formal events, like weddings, we will wear attire appropriate for the event...all black or a sportcoat and slacks. It really depends on the formality of the event, and what you want. Contact Us to discuss what your thinking.
