Description
Ian’s solo performances combine the beautiful, characteristic Caribbean sounds of the steel drum with skillful vocals in Spanish/English/Portuguese, ukulele, electronic marimba, and percussion. He also adds unique DJ elements and a captivating junk-percussion element, including frying pans, suitcase, and, of course, the steel drum (which is made from a recycled oil barrel). His full bands include these solo elements plus multiple steel drum players, electric bass, drum set, and percussion. Additional players and instruments can be added to include acoustic marimba, horns, keyboards, and additional vocalists.
What Makes Ian Dobson's Music Unique?
There are very few steel drum acts that also include singing. Also Ian’s solo act includes a variety of instruments, so the sonic mix never gets boring! The DJ/percussionist element is very unique, and the junk percussion element is suggestive of Blue Man Group or Stomp.
