"Once I calmed
down the soothing reggae sounds of Carlos Jones started to flow through
me. I lost myself in the groove. People dig this guy.
There is something about him that is so real. It was so
unexpected to see this kind of island soul coming out of Cleveland
Ohio. I bought into it 100%. This was real reggae and
Carlos Jones is the real deal. I have seen others make a mockery
of it, I have seen others hold their own but I have never seen
something this authentic and real up close like this....The crowd was a
mix of all creeds and colors dancing to the sound of this deep funky
island music. If you weren’t at least bobbing your heads to this
beat you had no soul. They say music can bring unity and
peace. I am hear to say Jones and his band write the soundtrack
for that concept." Jason Burchaski - 52 Weeks of Cleveland
"Carlos Jones is to Cleveland reggae what Jim
Brown
is to Cleveland running backs: the undisputed champ. With Jones at the
forefront of the scene for more than 25 years - first in I-Tal, then in
First Light - this city's reggae following was practically built upon
his back. Devoutly spiritual, Jones is a Bob Marley devotee who eschews
dancehall for galvanizing roots-reggae. Jones and his PLUS Band were
voted Best Live Act in Cleveland at the 2004 Scene Music Awards and
since then have won the award for Best Reggae/World Act every year,
culminating in being given permanent "All Star" status in 2007. They
maintain a hectic pace of gigging at clubs, private events and
festivals, playing out every single weekend. As a result, the band's
soulful rhythms and heartfelt vocals have made it one of Cleveland's
top draws for close to a decade." Cleveland Scene Magazine

Jah Works Comes to Cleveland
BALTIMORE’S JAH
WORKS
RETURNS TO CLEVELAND
Cleveland,
Ohio – Little Fish Records announced that Baltimore-based Jah Works (www.jahworks.com) – one of the top
U.S.
based reggae groups, is returning to Cleveland to headline two shows.They will be appearing at The Grog Shop (2785 Euclid Hts. Blvd., Cleveland Hts., 44106) on Friday,
August 6th
starting at 10pm,
and then
on Saturday, August 7th they will perform at The Players
Club (Lost
Nation Sports Complex, 38630
Jet Center Place, Willoughby
4094).
Jah Works, which has
released 5 of
their 9 cd’s with Little Fish Records, has
been one of
the top acts on the eastern seaboard for over 10 years.They’ve also
been able
to perform internationally as part of the Armed Forces Entertainment,
stopping in
Middle East, the Far East,
as well as Europe, and of course, Jamaica.
Their live
shows appeal to both reggae and non-reggae fans alike.Comfortable
in any
environment, the band has shared the stage with such notable
international
acts including Buju Banton, Toots and Maytals, Culture, Burning
Spear,
UB40, and Damian Marley.
They’ve also
performed several times with
Cleveland’s own Carlos Jones, both
in Cleveland
as well as the
Baltimore-DC
area.Jones, who is a big fan of the group, said “those
guys are fierce and
funky!
They
can
drive a roots groove like nobody’s business, and also slam you with
some
high
energy dancehall/hip hop hybrid stuff that will have you jumping up
and
down.
Their nice tight vocal harmonies put the icing on the cake. Every time
I
hear them they just blow me away.”
Cleveland Reggae Family Tree Project
Greetings Family!
After searching Facebook for an
interactive collective
where any and all of Cleveland's Reggae community could
gather
online and build on the documentation of the history of Reggae music in
Cleveland
and surrounding places, I decided to go ahead and start one. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=135182933171900#!/group.php?gid=135182933171900
I think it's an important story that
needs to be told,
and a history that should not be lost. It will be open to anyone who
wants to
post photos, music, band personnel lineups, and stories of the road or
about
shows, clubs or anything pertaining to this rich history of reggae
music
in our rock and roll town. This is just the seed of what I hope it
to
eventually be. So jump on, and rack your brains for the names of anyone
who has
a connection to weigh in with their thoughts and recollections. Let's
see if we
can have a roll call of the singers and players of instruments,
deejays, sound
systems, clubs, promoters, supporters and fans. And let's build it
together.
One Love!

Hey
everyone!
This is the
official announcement and press release from Gary Hoopengardner, whom I
collaborated with on the song, Earth DayEveryday,
recently
recorded
at
Lava
Room
Studios.
It
definitely
was
a
labor
of love, and
the stars
aligned for me to be able to record it with my brothers in First
Light!
I was
invited to New York City to perform it on April 24th, but unfortunately
I won't
be able to make it, since I'll be in Jamaica! (too bad, huh?)
Attached
here is the first mix of the song - video soon to follow.
Three
talented locals premiere “Earth Day Everyday” song to the world at
Grand
Central Stage NYC
When: April 24th
2010 Between
11:00 and Noon
What: Performance of “The Earth
Day
Everyday” song
Who: Little 7 year old Stella
Connelly
and Hoop the Last Folk Singer
Why: For everyone to listen
and learn
from a song that Earth Day is every day!
Where: Grand Central NYC
Cleveland: Little 7 yr. old Stella
Connelly
with the help of songwriter performer, “Hoop the Last Folk Singer”
is
sending an important message to everyone this Earth Day 2010. Earth day
is
every day! The message is passed along through the new song “Earth Day
Everyday”
written in part by Laura Hoopengardner and her father. The song was
produced/engineered by John Walsh at Lava Room Recording, featuring
Stella
Connelly and reggae recording artist Carlos
Jones
with First Light
and published by HOOPSONGS PUBLISHING BMI. Stella and Hoop will be the
first to
premiere the song to the world in New York City for the 40th
anniversary of Earth Day.
Back
story:
The
words for the song are adapted from a poem his daughter Laura wrote
about Earth
Day in ’97 when she was only 11 years old. She asked her father why is
it so
hard for people to stop polluting. Strong words from a child to her
father. His
answer was “It takes a long time for people to change habits and they
need
constant reminders and even laws to change”. This answer inspired his
daughter
to write an Earth Day poem that moved her father so much that he wrote
music
and took her and other sibling Janet into the recording studio where
they
recorded Earth Day.
Dad
taught the girls the melody and with just a simple guitar accompaniment
made a
cassette tape that he and Laura delivered to the Cleveland Earth day
Coalition.
The staff listened and thanked Laura and her dad and invited Laura to
perform
the song at the Earth day festivities held at the Cleveland Zoo. Laura
also
received a poster and Earth Day T-shirt. The song was forgotten until
last Aug.
when Gary (Hoop) was listening to the Reggae sounds of Carlos Jones and the PLUS Band at an
outdoor
concert. Carlos at one point in his show asked the children in the
audience to
come up in front of the stage. Carlos sang to the children and the
children
swayed to the Reggae rhythms with such a great feeling of well being
and
happiness especially when performed by Carlos Jones. “I was at this
performance
and I watched Carlos sing to the children and I had an A-Ha!
Experience, Carlos
needs to sing the Earth day song with a child”.
Hoop
stated: “I couldn’t get the idea out of my head. It just seemed so
right”. He
contacted his songwriting partner Liz LaGuardia and told her about his
A-Ha!
Experience and asked if he could borrow her 6 yr. old daughter to sing
the song
with him and then send it to Carlos”.. Liz asked Stella and Stella and
Hoop
practiced the song and then recorded it at Lava Room Recording Studios
in Cleveland
. He emailed Carlos the song. Although Carlos was very busy he did
state when
he had time he would listen to it in the following week. Hoop emailed
him back:
“I think this song is something you want to hear right now! It will
only take 3
minutes”. About 20 minutes later Hoop’s cell phone rang and it was
Carlos
calling stating he was very surprised and excited. Carlos stated he
enjoyed
what he heard and thanked him for thinking of him to perform the song.
Carlos
then stated he would work something up right away.
Hoop
contacted producer/engineer John Walsh and rented the studio. One thing
led to
another and after a few days working out other details. Carlos went to
the Lava
Room Studios and John contacted musicians he wanted to record the
backing
track. Liz brought Stella to the studio and what you are hearing on
this mp3 is
a mix of Earth Day Everyday.
So
why is he doing all this after 12 years of the song sitting on the
shelf? Well
it all goes back to daughter Laura now 23, asking why haven’t things
changed
and why do companies spend thousands of dollars during the Earth Day
Season
with large balloons and giant signs. And again he stated to her that
people
need to be reminded. But now he has taken action with the song to bring
it to
everybody’s attention. And you what? A song doesn’t pollute and I know
I’ve
learned many messages from songs. “Happy Birthday”, “You Are My
Sunshine”,
“Amazing Grace”, “Let It Be”, “Born in the USA ”, and probably the best
message
“Imagine”. So everyone, listen to another song that sends a message.
“Earth Day
Everyday” it will help you remember to save the Earth, save the land,
save the
world. Reduce, reuse, and recycle everyday!
At
Cellis' memorial service a couple months ago I was wonder-struck as I
looked around at Cleveland's distinguished Reggae Alumni, who had
turned out to honor our fallen Bredren, and it occurred to me that
there is a very real need for a documentation of Cleveland's reggae
family tree and lineage. That story simply can NOT be allowed to fade
into obscurity. I feel it is just as much a part of our city's musical
legacy, and history in general, and it can't be taken for granted. It
is my intention to somehow collect, organize and assemble as much of
and as many details as I can gather about how and where it all started,
where it has come and who was involved. I am looking for anyone and
everyone who has an interest in this project to contact me and send
me band names, personnel lineups, pictures,
stories,
articles,
flyers,
songlists,
setlists, discographies, chronologies,
personal
recollections
- anything that pertains to reggae music in
Cleveland, and will accept any help in putting this thing together.
Perhaps we'll eventually have a book or at least a comprehensive online
archive that anyone can reference to be able to see the whole picture
and put it all into perspective. I think it's time we preserve this
story for future generations to know how much a part of Cleveland's
story reggae music has been over the years, do you agree?

I'm sure as this progresses and as more people add to it, it will
become quite extensive and multi-faceted. It is a project I will enjoy
as much as I have enjoyed playing the music over the years, and I look
forward to working with you all. I think it will be a great tribute to
those Brothers and Sisters who are no longer with us, and to all those
who have given of their love and God-given talent to keep the reggae
fire blazing and keep us dancing and feeling IRIE!
Another
of our
Brothers has gone on to the next life...
Our
dear Brother,
Ed Skinner, better known as
Cellis (pronounced chellis) has passed on as of Sunday, Mar.
22nd. I came to know him as the bass player and arranger for
various groups, before he joined First Light in 1985. After his time
with us he formed his own band, Satta, which enjoyed a long run through
the late 80s and 90s. His untimely passing is a shock and a loss
to our community as well as Cleveland's reggae fraternity
especially.
Please
join me in
sending prayers and comfort
to his surviving family members, and let's do what we can to support
them in this time of loss.
Rest
in peace,
Cellis

artist, Carlos Jones, a longtime Cleveland resident who has carved out
a 30 year performing and recording career with such groups as I-Tal,
First Light, and his current group Carlos Jones & The PLUS Band.
This collaboration has been long in the making for both artists and a
labor of love brought together by serendipitous events in their lives.

Carlos Jones plans a solo CD,
then another with PLUS Band
Carlos Jones, reggae
Hometown: Woodmere
Years performing: 29
Day gig: professional musician
Veteran Cleveland-area musician Carlos Jones has a few irons
in the fire regarding his solo career and his Peace Love Unity
Syndicate (better known as P.L.U.S.) Band. "I've been doing
compilations with various artists around Cleveland and look forward to
putting out a solo CD of material," said Jones, a 1976 Maple Heights
High School graduate. "It's something that's been in the works for
quite some time." Jones hopes to have the solo project out next year.
Also in the mix for a 2008 release is the sophomore album from Jones
and the P.L.U.S. Band. New songs include "Music to the Rescue," "Leave
a Trail" and "Catch a Falling Star." Jones wrote the latter track
recently while on vacation in (surprise, surprise) Jamaica. Erstwhile
member of I-Tal, Jones hints another of his former bands, First Light,
could be getting close to traveling down reunion lane.

CATCHA FALLING STAR
Irie feeling is what it is…
Got my feet up on the rail and
no
worries on my mind
Appleton’s going down smooth and warm
while the sun paints the
western sky
And as far as the eye can see…
The water stretches out to
greet the
horizon
And I know that soon the only
light
we’ll see is that of a million stars
And I believe right now I could
catch
one – that’s right
I could catcha falling star
I could catcha falling star
The way this feels right now I
wish
could be the rest of my life
So sweet the taste like mango,
banana
and sugarcane
Sampling all the island has to
offer
and savoring the juice
I will catch a falling star and
never
turn it loose
I will catcha falling star
Yes I will catcha falling star
When you catcha falling star,
no
matter where you are
You can always get that feeling
when
you remember the inspiration
You can catcha falling star
You can catcha falling star
Now I know that there are
troubles
And that not everything is Irie
Cause the people they have to
struggle
Just to get from day to day
But still I’ve got to thank the
Father
For sunshine air and water
And I’ll say my daily prayer
That Jah will bless my sweet Jamaica,
yeah
And I will catcha falling star
Yes I will catcha falling star
When you catcha falling star
People come from near and far
When life is running you
ragged
And you need a soul vacation,
yeah
You can catcha falling star
You can catcha falling star
Now I’ve got to thank Jah Jah
For allowing me the pleasure
I’ll hold on to this memory
forever
And this feeling I will
treasure, yeah
And I will catcha falling star
Yes I will catcha falling star
And when we catcha
falling
star, no matter where we are
We will always get this feeling
when
we remember the inspiration, yeah
And we will catcha falling star
We will catcha falling star

Yep, you got it. Here's that John Bassette song I did, along with the

Even though I didn't record my song in time for it to be included
on the CD, I encourage people to get it. It's excellent! Some of
Cleve-town's best interpret his songs in a beautifully crafted and well
put together tribute to the man and his music.
John was a masterful songwriter and storyteller, and I'm so glad to be
re-discovering his music, not just through this compilation, but
also through the original recordings of his spanning over 3
decades. One of Cleveland's own folk heroes, gone but not

Tri-C’s Crooked River Groove Releases Multiple New Albums with Kickoff
Event
Cleveland -
CLEVELAND -- On May 7, six new e-recordings will
be released simultaneously by Cuyahoga Community College’s Crooked
River Groove Records (CRG). Northeast Ohio artists Carlos Jones, XeLa,
Zach, Phatty Banks, Cami & Cora, and E&J’s Ghetto Wisdom
comprise the first round of “download-only e-releases” from the label’s
“Live @ the WiFi Café” concert series. Each artist performed in
a coffeehouse setting at Tri-C’s Metro Campus with students recording,
mixing, mastering and now marketing the music.
CRG Records is breaking new ground with this
multiple e-release since very few colleges operate their own record
label. This marks the first time a college label has released six
recordings at once. It also marks the label’s embracing of the “single
song download” delivery model, which gives independent musicians a
stronger voice in the music industry. Tri-C is proud to partner with
these Northeast Ohio artists in support of regional independent music.
Listeners can stream this music from their personal computers for free,
or pay to download individual songs or entire albums at www.crookedrivergroove.com
The participating artists span genres and
generations. “Twisted Folk” from Xela, reggae-man Carlos Jones’
positive rhythms and pop songs from troubadour Zach are joined by the
hard-hitting and insightful poetry of E&J’s Ghetto Wisdom, street
legend Phatty Banks with the best of Cleveland Hip-Hop/Rap and finally,
hauntingly beautiful Latin folk from mother and daughter Colombian
expatriates Cami & Cora.
To celebrate this multiple release, on Monday, May
7, CRG Records will host a CD Release and Media Party at the B-Side
Lounge, 2785 Euclid Heights Blvd, adjacent to the Grog Shop in the
Coventry area of Cleveland Heights, from 8:00 until 10:00 p.m. All six
artists will perform songs from these “Live from the WiFi Café”
recordings.
In all, 37 Tri-C students in four separate classes
on two campuses worked behind the scenes to make this project possible,
including Western Campus web design students “hired” to redesign the
CRG website.
CRG Records is a product of Tri-C and its
innovative Recording Arts & Technology department (RAT). RAT trains
students for entry-level positions within the audio industry. Associate
of Applied Science Degree-seeking students receive broad-based training
in music and entertainment related fields including recording and
mixing, location sound, commercial production, audio for video and

REGGAE UPDATE:
Carlos
Jones & the PLUS Band offer Roots With Culture (Little
Fish

Powerd
by
sinewy
riddims
rotted
in
the
arena-reggae
style,
soaring
keyboards,
searing electric guitar, plenty
of percussion and Jones' believable lead vocals augmented with harmony
and call-and-response backing vocals, they sound like a band that
can come across strong in a live setting. Irie vibes predominate
on cuts like "Jah Guide Over Us", "Touching Home Again" (which segues a
musical quote from the Meditations' "Woman Is Like A Shadow" into the
riddim of Burning Spear's "Creation Rebel" and ties it all together
with a burning Chicago blues-style harmonica) and the Nyahbinghi-based
"Iditations" which opens with a spoken-word introduction from Ras
Pidow.
Undoubtedly,
the
most
played
song
off
this
album
will
be
the
Bob
Marley
tribute
"Torchbearer". Am I mistaken in thinking "State of Jah Music" is
written in response to some of my own comments that opened a "Reggae
