Steely Pan brings the sights and sounds of the Caribbean to your special event. Steely Pan combines the acoustic sounds of steel drums with expertly sequenced bass and drum tracks to give a full steel band sound at an affordable price.

The music repertoire, as played by Tim Delaney, is comprised of tunes from the Caribbean, including: rhythmic Reggae, hot Soca, chanting Calypso and some of your favorite pop tunes. Tim has been an active percussionist for over 30 years. He graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Music Therapy. His first taste of playing steel drums was at a week long camp at Northern Illinois University, in the summer of 1990. Since then, he has provided quality steel drum entertainment across the Midwest. Several trips to the Caribbean have given him a greater appreciation and knowledge for the instrument, music and culture of the islands.

Steely Pan has been featured on several T.V. and radio stations in the Midwest and appears regularly at summer festivals and outdoor concerts.
