Pan Loco delivers the smooth rhythms and melodies of the Caribbean. Our AUTHENTIC steel drum music will spice things up at your wedding ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour or after-party with a specialized repertoire of reggae, soca, and calypso tunes. Have a special song you want to hear? Ask us! We do most requests. Got curious kids at your wedding? Bring 'em on! We love having kids play along with us.

*About Us*

Founded by Bob Lucas and Justin Petty, Pan Loco has been in business for more than thirty years. Since 1991, they have enlivened over 2000 events with Calypso, Soca, and Reggae music straight from the islands, and even popular contemporary music modified for steel drums. They are known for their professionalism and trustworthiness at all the celebrations they perform at.

*Services Offered*

Pan Loco can perform in multiple configurations to suit you event's needs - from a steel drum soloist up to a six-piece group with vocals. We can perform acoustically for those beautiful beach weddings or with amplification and excitement to get all your guests dancing.

*Scope of Our Business*

In addition to weddings, we are available year-round for other private and public events from birthday parties to boat cruises to bar mitzvahs. If you name it, we've probably done it! We love what we do and would love to work with YOU to make your special day unique.

*Repertoire Summary*

Our repertoire is extensive and authentic - See our website at www.panloco.com for audio samples and a list of our most requested songs from island calypso, soca, and reggae to traditional wedding favorites such as "Here Comes the Bride" or "Pachelbel's Canon" played with the unmistakable sound of steel drums.

We love what we do . . . and this will be obvious. So don't wait... contact us today for information!

Great people and great music!

Bob was a pleasure to work with. Professional, incredibly responsive (even with the Celtics championship run ongoing!), and super user-friendly. Pan Loco helped make our special day that much more special and we'd recommend them to anyone.

Pan Loco brought caribbean sunshine to our rainy wedding day!

If you are looking for a way to add a fun tropical vibe to your event, look no further. Bob was amazing to work with and our guests loved dancing to the steel drum music! We will definitely be having Pan Loco at future events. Thank you so much Bob for bringing the Caribbean sunshine to our rainy wedding day!

Rehearsal Dinner at the Chatham Bars Inn's Beach House

Bob Lucas' Pan Loco Steel Band played at our son and daughter-in-laws Rehearsal Dinner. The music provided the perfect relaxed beach-front atmosphere we wanted. The event was perfect and will always be remembered by our guests as special. Thanks to Bob!

We had an outdoor wedding so we hired Pan Loco to play during cocktail hour and dinner. Our guests loved it. It was the perfect touch for a beautiful July day and it helped create the laid back atmosphere that we were looking for. Bob, the band leader, was very professional and super easy to work with. It was an extra expense because we already had a DJ, but it was worth it. If you’re looking for a steel drum band for your wedding or any summer event, I would definitely recommend Pan Loco. And if you want to check them out beforehand, they usually play on Thursday nights in the summer behind the Intercontinental in Boston.

Fun & Educational

Pan Loco immediately put us at ease, interacting easily with the audience. We were also impressed with their skill of playing different musical styles. Bob and Justin were comfortable with both adults and children.

The audience enjoyed the event so much that they didn't want to leave!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
