Caribbean Connection

A versatile group under the leadership of Carl “Sleepy” Thomas, a highly respected member of the Nova Scotia’s music family, and one of the founding members of the Atlantic Jazz Festival. Known simply as Sleepy (not too many people know his real name,) he brings to this ensemble his love for people and music in general. He hails from the country of Trinidad & Tobago and now makes Halifax his home. As a self-taught percussionist, he is comfortable in just about any the popular music styles.

The newly formed Caribbean Connection is just as comfortable in these music styles, be it soca/calypso, reggae, funk, R&B, rock or jazz. Only the most professional of musicians perform in this band.

One stalwarts of the group is vocalist Pat Richards who comes from the island of Antigua and has been performing on the local music scene for many years. He too is comfortable in just about every music style.
