Feautures Lead Singer: Donovan Carless...
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 Fullwood on bass (later to join Peter Tosh's Word Sound & Power Band), guitarist, Tony Chin and Leroy "Horsemouth" 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".

Cocktail Party
in Roanoke, VA
on 05/15/2011
"Recently, our law firm held its annual attorney/spouse party. Approximately 100 people attended the event, which was Caribbean themed. We searched the East Coast for the BEST Caribbean band to set the right atmosphere for our event. We were impressed with Vaughn and his group from the first contact through his kind follow up at the end. They are a remarkably talented group of musicians who make you feel that you are in the Caribbean with your "toes in the water and butt in the sand." If you are looking for a professional group with high quality music, you will be thrilled with the music of Sensory Expressions." Matt Broughton, Partner, Roanoke Virginia law firm."

"This band was perfect for our event. Vaughn was a delight to work with. They were on time, professional, talented, and a lot of fun. We had guests in their 30's to 70's and all were out on the dance floor throughout the evening. It was a magical night and I would certainly recommend them and hire them again.
