Pan Loco Steel Band

Pan Loco Steel Band is an authentic, mixed ethnic musical ensemble consisting of two steel drummers, an electric bass player, and an electronic or acoustic percussionist. Formal and informal venues include parties, weddings, corporate functions, boat cruises, college dances and festivals. The ensemble was formed in November of 1991 in Boston, Massachusetts.

In business for 16 years now, we have performed at more than 900 events, all the while, earning a solid and trusted reputation as polished professionals who have the appropriate look, feel, sound and attitude you expect for your event. We also love what we do.....and this will be obvious. The four talented members, who hail from Berklee College and the University of New Hampshire, have been performing all types of music in the New England area for many years. We have our act down pat, and the repertoire is authentic and appropriate for all ages. You won’t hear top 40 songs or elevator music. Pan Loco will bring sweet calypso, reggae and island music from the Caribbean direct to your doorstep. When you hear this music, you will wish you were on a slow boat to Saint Thomas! It’s the real thing!

Pan Loco Steel Band is available for all occasions including weddings (any size), parades, private parties of all types (any size) boat cruises, college dances and festivals, corporate events as well. A resume and professional references can be furnished upon request, or better yet you can find these, along with photos and music clips, by browsing to our home page.

You can also come out to see and hear us at our live public performances.
