Profile Information:

About Me/Us:: I'm a musician who lives and breathes reggae music. I play guitar and sing lead, but I'm a drummer above all else. All kinds of hand drums are where my heart is at. It's the universal heartbeat that calls us all together.
I'm originally from Virginia, but my family moved here in 1969. I graduated from Maple Heights High in 1976, and went to work as a mechanic for Firestone in Bedford until 1980 when I joined a local reggae band called I-tal and went on to pursue music full time. In 1984 I formed First Light with several I-tal members and stayed with that group until June of 1998, at which time I formed my current group, The Peace Love Unity Syndicate, more commonly known as Carlos Jones & The PLUS Band. We currently play shows in the Cleveland area and surrounding states, bringing the positive vibrations to people of all ages races and walks of life. I'm married and have two daughters, Rachel(21)and Soraya(19). I enjoy nature, hiking, cycling, rollerblading, basketball, cross country skiing and photography.
I voted for Barack Obama, and am thrilled with him being elected President. I have hope that we can turn this country around and restore our faith in our government. I believe in peace and want all wars to end. We need to aspire to a higher consciousness and realize that we can't keep destroying each other and our planet.That is the message I try to convey through my music. We need peace, love and unity
