Caya Sol Reggae Soul Band is a group of talented musicians from different parts of the world who come together at @jamlandstudio(Wilmington)to create positive vibes to share with the world. We have been together for over 4 years now and are just starting to scratch the surface. We have two lead singers, male and female. Steve “Wale” Peterson (Nigeria) and Shannon “ Shan Bam” Palmer(Jamaica) are both recording artists. Their harmonies are dynamic and full of rich culture. We have two guitarist Tom Cleary (Pa), and Earl Wilt (New England) and they are fantastic musicians. On bass is Daryl Yancey (Delaware) and on drums is Joel McDonald(Jamaica). The group has played in many festivals, restaurants, private & corporate events in various cities from New Jersey and New York to Delaware and Maryland. The mix of roots rock reggae and R&B is something you’d have to experience live. Guaranteed to get you on your feet and having a good time.

Evolution Sound and Entertainment is a dynamic group of DJs and performers with over 20 years of experience, originally from Trinidad and now based across several U.S. states. United by their Caribbean heritage and deep love for music, they specialize in all genres, from hip hop and reggae to dance and Afrobeat, with Soca music at the heart of their passion. Their performances often feature live rhythm section instruments, a signature Trinidadian sound that electrifies every event. Evolution Sound and Entertainment delivers not just music, but a full cultural experience rooted in rhythm, heritage, and high energy.
