Guyanese-born Ephraim Adams is a musician who has been dedicated
to playing the steel drum/ban
or ‘playin pan’ as it is
commonly called for more than eighteen years. Not only is he a
player but he also an accomplished arranger. He was taught to play
the steel drum while
attending Bishops' High School in the mid 80's. His ability to
arrange music was observed by the Orchestra's Director and soon he
was vested with the responsibility as the leader of the School's
Orchestra.
He performed with the Bishops High School Steel Orchestra on many occasions where their performances were breath-taking. In
the Finals of the National School Band competition
in 1993 they won 1st prize for their performance. After Such an
outstanding performance he became very popular and a wanted
commodity for the country's big bands. This new
fame led him to become a key player with the Banks Invaders Steel Orchestra.
In this band, he functioned as a lead player and arranger. He also
performed with the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Steel Orchestra in the 90's. Ephraim Adams became a well known musician and a member
of the Guyana National Steel Band Movement. In his many years of experience he has performed with many
other bands touring and sharing ‘pan
music’ in Caribbean territories.
Ephraim is also the founder of the Holy Spirit Catholic
Church's Young Achievers Steel Orchestra and co-founder of “The Live Wire Band” where he
functioned as a guitarist, steel drum soloist and a back up vocalist. His multi-talented performances were
honored when he was awarded the “Arts and Culture Award” in
1999-2000, by the National Bank of Industry and Commerce, Ltd. (now
renamed Republic Bank, Ltd) for his outstanding production of the
Annual Festival of Carols.
In 2003, Ephraim and his family immigrated to the United States of
America and brought his rich culture of music. His love and zest for
music has inspired him to diversify and further explore the
possibilities of preserving and promoting ‘pan
music.’ His current performances include: live shows at
