Join us in celebrating the vibrant beats of the Florida Keys. Our mission is to educate and entertain with the lively essence of steelpan music while fostering community spirit.
Feel the Rhythm of Steel Drums
Our community steelpan band in the Florida Keys was founded with a passion for music education and a deep love for the steelpan tradition. We are dedicated to teaching adults how to play in a steelpan ensemble, preserving the rich cultural heritage of this unique Caribbean art form.
Open to all, our band brings together people from diverse backgrounds—young and old, experienced musicians and beginners alike. Through our workshops and performances, we foster a sense of community, creativity, and lifelong learning.
Beyond music, our band serves as a vibrant social hub, connecting individuals through a shared love of rhythm and melody. We are committed to making steelpan music accessible to everyone, ensuring that this incredible tradition thrives for generations to come.
Meet the dedicated volunteers and band members who make it all possible—our extended family in the Florida Keys!

Here’s what our fans say about us, highlighting their love for our vibrant performances.
I always thought steel drum music was so pretty and fun so when the opportunity to learn came up, I jumped at the chance. Since joining the band, I absolutely love the challenge of learning, improving, and above all, playing with my band mates. It feels like we inspire smiles and joy for others, as well as ourselves. I’ve met and become friends with great people, too!

Retired
I’ve been an RN for 15 years and currently work at Fishermen’s community hospital as a surgical nurse. I joined the steel drum band after seeing the community band play at the concert in Dec 23. I was looking for something to get me active in the community, and the steel drums are a perfect fit

I played trombone in middle school and guitar as a hobby in high school. Fast forward 25 years, music was a past time and took a backseat to my career. I needed something to get me away from the computer chair. There was a call to start a new steelpan ensemble with no experience needed. Chuck brought music back into my life, and it’s a big part of my family now, with my son playing as well.
