The Island Boys
Band
The Island Boys Steelpan Calypso Band has been entertaining
audiences on the East Coast of US for over 10 years. Founding
member/lead man and arranger, Will "Cruz" Shaughnessy,
envisioned a group that could offer the astute clientele of the
Hamptons NY an authentic Pan Calypso experience. Thus was born
Island Boys. What began as a two piece blossomed into a four,
often five and even six piece ensemble . The players on his
roster have an impressive list of credentials. Some of the
members have played with Paul Simon, Kanda Bango Man, Salif
Keita, Lou Soloff (Blood .Sweat & Tears) . They have opened
for the Wailers in Key West, FL and some continue to tour
nationally and internationally.
 The Band boasts an even more impressive list of
satisfied clientele. They have performed for Celebrity
Hampton Parties and benefits entertaining such stars as
Kim Cattrall (Sex in the City), Roy Scheider, Sandra
Bullock, Danny Glover, Mel Gibson, Steven Spielberg and a
host of artists, fashion Celebes and of course normal
folks like ourselves who are just looking to have a great
time . They have graced the stages of Lincoln Center NYC,
Museum of Natural History, NYC , Bryant Park and can be
seen performing in many of Manhattans' local hot spot.
Currently the band is working on their first CD
which is a compilation of the many styles they infuse in
their music. Aside from Calypso and Soca , the Band is
adept at performing Zoukous music from Zaire, Jazz, World
Music featuring afro-caribbean styles and Aboriginal
Australian Didjeridu. The Band has also donated their
time for Charitable events such as Angel Flight, Fresh
