Steel Drums in a "Pro" Band




I was reviewing some of the images I shot in the past and came across these photos of a band that incorporated the Steel Drum as part of their sound.

I was hired to photograph the wedding reception of a client that had gotten married in the Carribean (I think that's where they got married) and then decided to have a reception for their family and friends here in the US. So of course it made sense to hire a band that played music that fit the theme of the Carribean.

This was a good band and having even just one Steel Drum player really made the difference. Too bad more bands don't incorporate Steel Drums in their music. This band didn't play all their songs in this style, but the ones they did were really the songs that shined.

Can you imagine the kids from River Trails Middle School eventually starting bands that incorporated this sound? They could "own" the market! :)
