THE PAN-HANDLERS STEEL DRUM

The Pan‑handlers Steel Drum Band was founded in 2014 by Chops, Inc., originally serving as an alternative performance ensemble for drum corps members interested in furthering their music career without the rigors of marching. Since then it has grown into a staple of the Twin Cities music scene, regularly performing in “Arts in the Park” concerts as well as at festivals, parties, and other events throughout the year.
