Friends Fur-Ever Feast 2011 Slideshow

Entertainment ProvidedMr. Myers Band


Mr. Myers blends the sounds of calypso and ska, the rhythms of Reggae and a touch of rock and roll with some favorite tunes to create their own special style of music- Caribbean Rock. Mr. Myers began producing its unique blend of music in 1981 and has since become a favorite dance band.

The magic of Mr. Myers' trademark sound stems from Bandleader Todd Donnelly's use of steel drums or steel pans, which Mr. Myers was one of the first Midwestern Bands to make use of. Mr. Myers also pulls its sound from its highly talented and diversely educated members, all having strong backgrounds in Jazz, Classical, Rock and World music. Featuring wailing sax, searing rock guitar, colorful steel drums, powerful percussion and strong vocals.
