Steve Nisbett

Born in the lush tropical paradise of the Caribbean Island of Nevis. Steve 'Grizzly' Nisbett was a few years older than his fellow band members when he joined Steel Pulse in the middle of 1977, after experience in various soul bands, namely Penny Black, Rebel, Roy Gee and The Stax Explosion and Force. His mastery on the drums was evident through the band's three Island albums and beyond. He's remained a constant factor as the years have shaped the band, styles have changed and evolved and other band members have come and gone. Latterly, he played percussion, having given way on the drums to Conrad Kelly in 1998. Grizzly was a proud member of the Pulse posse that won the Grammy award for Best Reggae Album in 1986 for their Babylon The Bandit album, though due to health concerns his final concert with the band took place in August 2001 in San Diego.
