Roots reggae music is ageless and like a good wine, it gets better with time. The same can be said of Donovan Carless and his smooth vocal style. The veteran singer of the legendary Soul Syndicate Band has over thirty years of reggae music experience to his credit. Attending St. Andrew Technical High School in Kingston Jamaica, Donovan formed his first group, 'The Little Roys' with friend and singer, Earl "Little Roy' Lowe. While still in High School, Donovan joined the now famous Soul Syndicate Band that included a who's-who of reggae: Fully Full wood on bass (later to join Peter Tosh's Word Sound & Power Band), guitarist, Tony Chin and Leroy "Horse mouth" Wallace on drums. The band began recording for Vincent "Chin" Randy's Impact label where Donovan voiced, "Garden Party" (and other top ten hits), "Love Of The Common People" "Sweet Caroline","Be Thankful" and "How Can I Tell Her". Muriel Fowler is an exceptional vocalist with superior range which span various genres. Sensory Expressions is comprised of members who have played with groups such as "Donovan and the Posse, Jam Rock, Stanley Baird, Crucial Fire, Pure Fiyah, The Wailers, Morgan Heritage and Culture among others".

Sensory Expressions Band & Steel Drums:
Contacted the customer earlier in the week due to the death of mother and the event, but would let know if I was not able to do so. Customer was also reminded of the requirements for my setup but had me setup in a outside area from what she previously sent in an email. There was no cover from the elements and no power. It took her staff almost an hour to locate a tent and set it up. There was also no extension cord to get to the power box but luckily i had one in my car that was on the edge of the length needed and able to move the tent closer to the area. The customer never introduced herself. I never argued with anyone but simply asked a staff member to please have a truck turn their engine or generator off since it was funneling fumes heavily to the area i was in! I value my life and would never disrespectful anyone much less like that! The customer was made aware of a major accident which caused a stand still in traffic 1 hr before arriving before event start.Review by Lee-Ann E.
