“The future is right now. I just want to keep on playing this music from my heart for as long as I’m able to, & keep the positive vibration flowing for all those who can dig it, ya know? As long as I can continue to do what I love, what more could I want out of life?”
Carlos’ journey started out as a sideman (percussion/vocals) with the band, I-Tal in the late 70’s, then went on to be the front man for the rock/reggae group, First Light for 14 years. Now Carlos fronts the Peace Love Unity Syndicate, aka The PLUS Band, focusing on rootsier sounds and uplifting positive messages.
Since their humble beginnings in 1998, Carlos, and his PLUS Band have matured as songwriters, musicians and performers, giving energetic and uplifting performances for an ever-expanding following, which spans generations. The PLUS Band maintains a hectic pace of gigging out at clubs, private events & festivals. the band’s soulful rhythms and heartfelt message have made it one of Cleveland’s top draws for more than a decade.
The band released last year its second full length CD, ‘Leave A Trail’, & some of Carlos’ music is also featured on the soundtrack of a film which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival called North Starr.
