PUTNAM — St. Luke’s Steel Drum Band will perform from 6 to 7 p.m. June 25 in Rotary Park. The concert is free.
Bring the family. This is a children-friendly performance.
The St. Luke’s Steel Band performance is powered by Performing Arts of Northeast CT and The Three C’s, in conjunction with the Town of Putnam.
St. Luke’s Steel Band was started in the fall of 1999 when Father Victor Rogers and a group of supporters from New Haven’s historic St. Luke’s Episcopal Church purchased a set of used steel pans from a band in Brooklyn, N.Y. Since then, the group has attracted a dedicated membership of players of all ages. Many of the members or their families come from the West Indies: the islands of Antigua, Barbados, Bermuda, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago are all represented in the ensemble..
Their repertoire includes soca, calypso, reggae, classical, sacred, jazz, popular and island folk music.
