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. Performing 200-250 times a year since 1993 we specialize in entertaining at 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, Kitchener and more.

• The music was just perfect for our private backyard party venue! The guys were very engaging and personable and awesome musicians. Great for background music at a party where there is not much dancing but lots of conversation. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!

• Sounds of Paradise brought the EXACT vibe we needed to our event. On top of being incredibly impressed with Brad's talent and WIDE range of tunes, he generated so many positive comments by our staff and guests that we'll definitely have him back for events to come. Thank you Sounds of Paradise for an awesome first impression! Thomas Carnes Director, Camp Keepsake 2009 -- Thomas C, Calabasas, CA, 10/2/2009
• When you hire a musician without a recommendation, or seeing them first, you are making a gamble. You don't know what you'll get. But Brad Winchell (Sounds of Paradise) was an excellent addition to our fundraiser. He was on time, very professional, pleasant, accomodating and bailed us out with his CD player. Not to mention great to listen to. We owe him a HUGE thank you for making our job easier and for making our benefit a great success. We would be happy to recommend him to anyone. -- Bonnie W, Calabasas, CA, 9/27/2009
