Live Music / Pan Paradise Steel Drum Band
Pan Paradise is South Florida’s premier Steel Drum and Reggae Band. Pan Paradise owes its success to the phenomenal music mastermind, Dexter Browne, who grew up hearing the steel drum being played in the pan yards in Trinidad and Tobago. A savvy and dynamic entertainer, his zest for entertaining began 30 years ago, when he captivated church gatherings with his musical talent and lively performances. Dexter is a renowned artist whose musical aptitude resonates through his steel drums to appeal to and delight his audiences. Pan Paradise have been performing throughout the state of Florida since 2001 and have performed Colombia, Canada, The Bahamas, and many other locations around the world.
