Sonic Steel

Sonic Steel is one of the most exciting steelbands in Denmark, Europe right now. The band convincingly combines the qualities of larger, traditional steelbands with the lightness and manageable size known from bands consisting of ordinary instruments.

Sonic Steel consists of 6 professional musicians from various areas of the Danish rock-, jazz-, and steelband scenes. They play four sets of steelpans together with bass and drums.

Sonic Steel's repertoire outlines a broad perspective from traditional steelband compositions from the Caribbean world, through soft bossa novas to hot jazz arrangements and other delicacies. This is why Sonic Steel is very suitable for many different types of events from Caribbean parties to more subdued receptions.

Sonic Steels pans are tuned by Rudy Smith.

Sonic Steel was formed in 2002 and is led by Sune   Borregaard who is also the arranger.  It is composed of the finest steel pan players in Denmark.

Three of us met up in a music school steelband back in 1989, and we met the girls at the music studies department of Copenhagen University.

The  double bass player has recently been added to the group (last summer) and replaced an electrical bass.
