Always enamored with the bass, Kevin started playing with various bands and eventually found success as a founding member of the 1980’s national recording artist, Strut. After moving to the mid Atlantic area, he played for a number of years as part of the duo, the Kevin and Dale Experience.

GREG SHIPMAN

DRUMS / Vocals : Originally from the Williamsport, Pennsylvania area, Greg’s passion for music and drumming was inspired by two professional drummers: his late Uncle Lou Feist and his cousin Dan Feist. Greg’s first public performance was a gig at the Frederick City Band Shell in 1975 with Zion Sky.  Although he has never had many formal lessons, Greg’s love for the drums continued and he played with local bands, Triple Irony and Bonedaddy and the Hot Licks. Drums took the back seat to raising a family for a few years, but then John Grimes (fellow Triple Irony and Bonedaddy and the Hot Licks member) reached out and Greg decided it was time to jam again.  The end result was the Special Delivery Band, which made its debut in 2002.

MARK NELSON

PERCUSSION / Vocals : Mark has been playing drums since the age of 5. Besides High School Marching / Jazz Band and the occasional High School “Rock Band”, Mark has been playing out since he graduated High School.  During that time, he picked up singing, A little bit of keys and bass, and enhanced my production pallet with live sound and recording, having the opportunity to engineer and produced CD for local bands. I recently (within the past 10 years + or -) added percussion to my list of “stuff” which has been a blast. I’ve done all of this while having a very rewarding career in the fire service for 30 years.  During this time Mark had the pleasure of playing with bands such as Brickyard Road (Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute group), Chris Collins and Boulder Canyon (John Denver Tribute Group) traveling around the country with both groups. Add to that playing with various local artists around the Frederick, Md. area and now I’m very happy to be with Special Delivery as their percussionist/vocalist. These guys have been friends for quite some time and now bringing things to a new level and having a great time doing it! Hope to see you at a show SOON!!
