I was having a conversation with a lady after one of our shows, and she was telling me how our music lifts her spirits from the heaviness of everyday life, refuels her energy and inspires her to keep going at it. What more could an artist ask for? That kind of feedback keeps ME going and lets me know I must be on the right track. #onelove #onevibration

ME I DISCONNECT FROM YOU

the alarm rang for days
you could tell from conversations
I was waiting by the screen
I couldn't recognise my photograph
me, I disconnect from you 

I was walking up the stairs
something moved in silence
I could feel his mind decaying
only inches away from me
and I disconnect from you 

please don't turn me off
I don't know what I'm doing outside
me and the telephone that never rings
if you were me what would you do?
me, I disconnect from you

Lyrics:
The lights are out, but I’m still tossin’ about
Yeah my minds on the run, can’t slow it down
But still somehow, I’m feelin’ like

Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh yeah

Yeah I’m busy at night, but I’ll get you sometime
But you’re never in sight, whoa ain’t that my life
But still somehow, I’m feelin’ like

Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh yeah

But I don’t need it all
No I don’t need it all
I don’t need it all,
Cause we’ve already got it all

Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh yeah

Carlos Jones has been sharing his musical inspiration with Cleveland and the surrounding area for over 40 years, earning him the unofficial designation of  “The Iron-man of Cleveland Reggae”. Born in Virginia, his earliest musical influence was the gospel music he heard in the church where his grandfather preached. In the mid-60s his family moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where he became fascinated by the Beatles and other popular music of the time. A few years later, after moving back to the states, his main musical interests were Soul, Jazz, Blues and Rock music, until he discovered Reggae in the mid 70s, which led him to seeing Bob Marley perform and then joining one of Cleveland's first local Reggae bands. He started out in 1978 as a side-man (percussion/vocals) with I-tal, one of Cleveland’s first homegrown Reggae groups, and then in 1984, split off from I-tal along with several other members to form the group, First Light.

Carlos developed as the front man/lead vocalist for First Light and honed his songwriting skills during its 14 year run as one of the top drawing bands in the area, playing shows at clubs, colleges and festivals all over the eastern half of the United States and in Canada. During that time, First Light released several recordings on vinyl, cassette and CD on the independent label, Thin Ice Records.

By 1994, a few years before First Light disbanded, Carlos’ next project was already underway. The Peace Love Unity Syndicate, which would later become known as Carlos Jones & The PLUS Band, was already playing shows in the area, and people were starting to take notice. His goal was to get back to the more spiritual and positive messages in Reggae music that had captured his heart from the start, back when Reggae was first gaining worldwide attention through artists like Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Peter Tosh, Toots & The Maytals, Culture, Third World and Burning Spear, all of whom he's had the pleasure of sharing the stage with over the years. 

Now with 27 years under his belt with the current group, Carlos continues to keep the Reggae fire burning with his steadfast allegiance to the positive vibration, lifting hearts and stirring souls every time he and his band take the stage. The PLUS Band has three full length releases to date: Roots With Culture (2004), Leave A Trail (2009) and their first live recording called "Live From Cleveland", which came out in 2016. A 4-song EP, Positive Vibrations, was released in 2011, and they have sporadically released several singles over the past few years. All are on Little Fish Records, an independent Cleveland label run by his manager, Larry Koval, who has been with Jones since 1998. The band is currently working on a new album to be titled "A New Day", which they hope to release this summer.

Now, at the age of 62, when asked about his plans for the future, he'll tell you, "I'm just grateful to see every new day, and to be given the opportunity to make each one the best I can. I'll just keep moving forward, and follow the path where it leads, you know? Promoting positivity , peace, love and understanding betweeen people is my life's purpose and I'm blessed to be able to do what I love. What more could I ask out of life?"
