Island Close By is an acoustic steel-drum band that originated form the desires of its members to bring the music of the islands to South Carolina. Specializing in the authentic steel band sound, our ensemble performs the lively upbeat rhythms of soca & calypso from Trinidad and Tobago, the vibrant and sassy sounds of salsa from Cuba, as well as an extended range of tunes that includes Jimmy Buffet, Carlos Santana, Bob Marley, Latin-jazz and pop standards.

 

The Island Close By Steel Band is available for a number of different functions: Private parties, festivals, restaurants, cruises, corporate bookings, school performances or any special event. Contact us today for pricing and availability.
