Overview

About

This band is unique, completely original, and peerless in Colorado. Rick Henson, founder of Rocky Mountain Steel Bands, formed this ensemble (comprised of four pan players, percussion, drum set, vocals [optional]) when he recognized that steel pan drums are universally regarded as intriguing, fascinating, and beautiful instruments -- yet they are confined to traditional "tropical" tunes. Urban Island utilizes the versatility of these melodious drums in performing favorite pop classics, light modern rock, and dance-able Caribbean folk tunes.

Urban Island functions well with 5-7 musicians depending on your budget and stage size. No matter what your event, Urban Island is sure to heat things up!
