our guests loved the atmosphere that the steel drums created during our happy hour. it was a great touch to our wedding day! the only issue was that sometimes the steel drums were a little hard to hear over the wind and recorded track music.
thanks for helping to make our day magical!

Steel Pan Jam entertained the crowd for the entire program and played melodies that were from several genres of music - his performance was appreciated by and his ability to play the right tune to get the crowd moving, was recognized by all. The program would not have been the same without his great performance and skill.

About
I learned to play steelband music growing up in Trinidad after receiving a tenor pan for Christmas and promptly joined Invaders for Carnival. I later moved over to Starlift and played tenor on the band's stage side until leaving for Howard University to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I later returned to Trinidad briefly for Carnival to play tenor in a Panorama Final with Starlift. During my time with Starlift, I played tenor with Metronomes in a Steelband Music Festival. While at Howard University, I played tenor and double seconds with the Trinidad Steelband until my graduation. While living and working in Boston, Massachusetts, I played tenor and double seconds with the Modern Sounds Steelband.
