Sounds of Paradise
What we offer is simple: GREAT VOCALS along with clear, melodic STEEL DRUM playing. We play familiar songs 'island style' at the perfect volume with full, warm sound. Based in Huntington Beach, CA, we've been performing since 1993, specializizing in entertainment for large and small events.
Sounds of Paradise can vary from 1 to 5 members. 'SOLO' is often a perfect option. It features bandleader Brad Winchell playing steel drums and singing with custom background tracks. For events where a lot of dancing is expected it's recommended to have the band as a duo, trio or larger.
WE FEATURE SONGS BY: Bob Marley, UB40, Steel Pulse, Jobim, The Beatles, JImmy Buffett, Harry Belafonte, Stevie Wonder, David Rudder, Jack Johnson and more.
