Little Fish Records announced today that Carlos Jones & The P.L.U.S. Band (aka The Peace, Love, Unity Syndicate) will be celebrating Bob Marley’s Birthday at a special afternoon event on Sunday, February 16, 2025 at the Beachland Ballroom, 15711 Waterloo Rd., Cleveland, OH 44110. The show will run from 3:00-7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the following link.
Carlos Jones & the PLUS Band had been commemorating Bob Marley’s birthday in February for 24 years at the Parkview Tavern in Cleveland. This smaller venue on Cleveland’s near west side became legendary for its vibrant atmosphere, with people lining up outside for up to an hour just to experience the incredible vibe of “The Reggae Brunch.” However, the 25th anniversary celebration was put on hold when Covid-19 hit and eventually plans were scrapped due to health and safety reasons.
With respect to Norm Plonski, the owner of the Parkview, the group has decided not to use the same branding for this event. Instead, they chose to incorporate some of the elements that made the original event so special. Feeling it was time to move forward, they decided to create a new celebration at a larger venue; thus, the Beachland Ballroom was selected.
The festivities will commence with DJ Bryan Watson spinning some tunes to set the tone for the evening. Following this, there will be a special performance by “Ms. BBC & The Queens”, a vocal group comprising four talented female vocalists from various other groups that have come together to blend their unique talents. Additionally, the Hue People vocal group will join Carlos Jones & the PLUS Band on stage for several songs that is sure to elevate the sprit in the room!
Local vendors will be present, selling Jamaican-themed merchandise, and Jamaican food will be provided by Hooper Farms, ensuring that the culinary experience is as exceptional as the musical performances.
Join us at the Beachland Ballroom for an unforgettable celebration of Bob Marley’s legacy, filled with music, culture, and community spirit.
