Outstanding Performer

Terry was on time and very helpful during our event. He was so good, that we are booking him again for another event! While he was performing, many people took his information down for their next event too. The music was amazing, and brought back several memories with great songs.

Fabulous!

Terry was amazing. The outside temperature was perfect, the wine was flowing and the food was Caribbean themed so, a steel drum performance was just the frosting on the cake! I would hire Terry again, in a heartbeat!

5 star experience

I booked Terry on a referral from a friend who'd heard him play at a party. He was so easy to work with, super professional and on-time and is an incredibly talented musician. I am already trying to find excuses to have another party so I can hire him again. Multiple people asked me for his info. The kids loved it, adults loved it.. it was perfect.

First time using a site and service like this can be a little intimidating, but it was easy and straight forward from searching, booking and of course fulfillment. The pan man is a great musician and entertainer. His stories added to the enjoyment of all.

What to Expect

The Northwest Panman will provide a wide range of music from Reggae, Jimmy Buffett, Calypso, Soca to soft rock and jazz.

About

Terry Baber has been working in the corporate environment for over 30 years and is both a talented musician and band leader. He has toured worldwide as a trombonist playing reggae, blues and many other styles of music. He also is the owner of Brokenslide Music, a site geared towards providing quality music to musical groups. But his lifelong passion was to play steel pans which came to reality in 2004. The spirit of the Jumbie (as they say in Trinidad) grabbed a hold of him and there has been no turning back. Terry has played steel pan in bands and as a soloist all over the country and plays steel pan full time in the Pacific Northwest which is no easy feat!

Terry can play in a wide variety of venues such as wineries, weddings, corporate parties, picnics. house parties, festivals, fairs, clubs, and has been the entertainer used at Beaches PDX airport restaurant for the last 2 years.

Terry is very easy to work with, and very reliable. He will be there in plenty of time for your event! He always goes the extra mile for his clients.

Additional Booking Notes

I provide my own Pa and need access to 1 power outlet. However, my PA can also be powered by batteries so don't let power requirements discourage you.
