RythmTrail steel drum band located in Florida travels everywhere to entertain guests whether it’s for a tropical styled beach wedding corporate event, or a private party.

As the band travels, this blog will leave a trail as it chronicles the life of these pannists and the people whose hearts are warmed by the music.

    Having a Caribbean touch of class can add so much flavor to your wedding. Rhythm Trail Steel Drums gives soothing music that you’ll treasure. Years of experience have added to his natural talents and so Ephriam plays renditions from his musical repertoire that is filled with euphoria that will make your wedding the best. I have sang with him for years so who knows better.

    Music is the food of love – whether is love for God (Gospel) or for one another. The steel pan is a really exceptional musical instrument and listening to it can take you to the greatest heights. It puts one in a fantastic mood and calms the soul should one be experiencing turmoil – so PLAY ON!!!!!!
