The Island Trio

"Come Back To The Islands!"

That's how you'll feel when you hear the sounds of The Island Trio Steel Drum Band. The Island Trio has been performing up and down South Carolina's coast for more than six years, frequenting such spots as Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and many local Charleston venues. This three piece band provides high energy party music that is guaranteed to get everyone out of their seats and moving in a conga line.

The Island Trio features Tim, a music major from Winthrop, playing authentic steel drums, percussion and vocals. He has been involved in steel drum manufacturing, tuning and sales for over ten years. Chris "the Zorg", guitars and lead vocals, has been performing in the Charleston area since the late seventies in a diversified number of bands. Jay, bass, guitar, keys and vocals, hails from a strong musical background and provides solid, foundation building, rhythms which enables The Trio to reach their number one goal -- making people happy.

The Island Trio plays a wide variety of music which expands from traditional calypso, beach, reggae, to good old rock and roll. The band keeps the dance floor packed. From the melodic sounds of Harry Belafonte's Jamaican Farewell, to the party sounds of Jimmy Buffett's Boat Drinks, The Island Trio focuses on audience participation as their main source of energy. The band spends a lot of time in the audience pumping up the crowd, and the fun and the party begins.

So find your loudest Hawaiian shirt, get yourself a tropical frozen drink, and get ready to enjoy the exciting sounds of The Island Trio. Be Prepared, however, to bend over backwards, because...The Trio comes equipped with a limbo pole and they want to know "HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?"
