About Nu Pan Groove

Nu Pan Groove is a Southern California steel drum band based out of Long Beach. Members of the group have performed at numerous public concerts, private parties, corporate events, weddings, community functions, charity drives, fund raisers, and receptions. The band is led by Max Minskoff, a percussion major who has been performing and recording on pan, percussion and drum set in the Caribbean style for over 4 years. Other members of the group are comprised of the top pan players in California, many of them are Long Beach State Alumni. In fact, most of the arrangements we play are adaptations from the Long Beach State University 40 piece Steel Drum Orchestra and capture the traditional “pan band” sound from the island of Trinidad. Max’s Pan was crafted and tuned by Dave Beery, owner of Smarty Pans.

Nu Pan Groove is an affordable and punctual group that will get the job done and have your guests working the dance floor!

Band size ranges from a solo performance to a seven piece steel drum ensemble.
