Deep Grooves Steel Drum Band June 25, 2010

The Deep Grooves Steel Drum Band was formed in 1993 when several percussionists “discovered” each other through the Nashville music scene. They saw the need for a steel band, so they got together to share their love of Caribbean music and the steel band art with the Nashville community. Under the direction of Mat Britain, the band has grown in popularity and has become a crowd favorite throughout the South.

The band has performed for the elite of Nashville’s music community including Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Wynonna, the CMT Network, and numerous music awards shows. Performing for these stars has led to the Deep Grooves sound appearing on the quadruple platinum hit “When the Sun Goes Down” and Grammy nominated “Shift Work” by mega-star Kenny Chesney through Mat Britain’s recorded efforts.

Performing the authentic Caribbean steel drums, from Calypso and Reggae to Belafonte and Buffett, the exotic sound of steel drums will take you from the Playhouse mainstage to a beach in Trinidad. This is one concert you don’t want to miss.
