Pan Loco Steel Band

Pan Loco Steel Band brings the smooth rhythms and melodies of the Caribbean to weddings and events throughout New England. Founded by Bob Lucas and Justin Petty in 1991, the band has performed at over 2000 celebrations in more than thirty years of operation. Their authentic repertoire includes calypso, soca, and reggae music, plus contemporary songs adapted for steel drums and traditional wedding favorites like Pachelbel's Canon and Here Comes the Bride. The band offers flexible configurations to suit different event needs, from a single steel drum soloist up to a six-piece ensemble with vocals. They can perform acoustically for beach ceremonies or with full amplification for receptions and dancing. Pan Loco accommodates song requests and welcomes interactive moments with guests, including children who want to play along during performances. Based in the Boston metro area with a location in Falmouth, MA, Pan Loco serves weddings, rehearsal dinners, cocktail hours, and after-parties throughout the region. The band also performs at birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, boat cruises, and other private and public events year-round. Audio samples and a complete song list are available on their website.
