Last year, we had this to say about local reggae singer Carlos Jones: “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.”
At 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jones & The PLUS Band will record a live album at the Beachland Ballroom, so you can expect the band to put on a stellar performance. The show starts at 9 p.m. and the local act Big Ship opens the show. Pre-sale tickets are $10 dollars.
Jeff has been covering the Cleveland music scene for more than 25 years now. On a regular basis, he tries to talk to whatever big acts are coming through town. And if you're in a local band that he needs to hear, email him at jniesel@clevescene.com.
