Reviews
"Over the last 15 years I have had the pleasure to work and hire Bickley Rivera's group for different events for my clients. Each time they have performed to resounding success with their professionalism, dynamism and high quality of their performance. Their repertoire of favorite island tunes and crowd participation has delighted my clients' audiences. I definitely would recommend them for any concerts or special events and look forward to using them again and again."

"FYI--Our party was a hit and we loved Bickley. It was such a nice touch to have the steel drum and she was VERY nice! She was professional, courteous and had a great playlist. We are thinking of doing another similar party in the fall and will probably request her again :)"

"I have worked with Bickley Rivera's tropical music groups for many years, booking them for concert series in East Hampton, CT. Most recently I had the opportunity to hire them in July 2008 with her Florida group and was extremely pleased with the enthusiasm of concert attendees. The music was fantastic, lively and the audience throughly enjoyed the show. Their music is so upbeat, rhythmical with lots of variety and fits any venue or age group. I have also seen them perform at festivals and find them to be consistently entertaining."
