   About Andrew 'Jr Boy' Jones
Andrew was born October 16, 1948 in Dallas Texas. Both parents loved music. His mother Gladys was a vocalist with an orchestra headed by close family friend Adolphus Sneed who his brother, sister, and he would call uncle. Andrew’s mother bought his first guitar when he was seven years old. After seeing his potential his uncle Adolphus bought him a better one. Andrew began his professional career at age 16 playing with Freddie Kings backing band, the Thunderbirds. In 1967 Jones join R&B, soul singer Bobby Patterson and the Mustangs. They signed with Abnak Records and recorded several 45 singles on the Jet Star label. During this time he saw and met session guitar great Cornell Dupree. Dupree use to sit in with Jones and the other musicians on Andrew’s guitar. In 1973 blues great Freddie King asked Jones to join his band again. King had recorded the (Going Down) album, and they were touring excessively with rock groups such as Grand Funk Railroad, Rare Earth, Tower of Power, Marshall Tucker Band, etc…. In the 80’s Andrew was working with local artist R.L. Griffin, and also R&B singing great Johnny Taylor. In late 1987 Andrew went to California to join Russell Jackson, and Tony Coleman as the Silent Partners. Jackson and Coleman are both known for their work with B.B. King. Jones, Jackson, and Coleman did extensive session work and touring with different artist such as Katie Webster, Charlie Musselwhite, and opened for the Neville Brothers, and Leon Russell with Edgar Winter. In mid 1988 Jones along with Jackson and Coleman recorded with Katie Webster on her critically praised Alligator Records album, (Swamp Boogie Queen). In late 1989 Andrew and Charlie Musselwhite were recording on Sonny Rhodes album, and they hit it off. Later Musselwhite talk to Jones about starting a band and would like Jones to be a part of it. In the early to mid 1990’s they recorded three albums together: (Ace of Harps), (Signature), and (In My Time). Andrew co-wrote two songs with Mussewhite, River Hip Mama, on (Ace of Harps), and It’s Getting Warm In Here, on Signature. The band won a W.C. Handy award for best band in 1995. Andrew return to Dallas in 1996 and later that year signed and recorded his first CD for J.S.P. Records, (I Need Time). In 1998, Rounder Records released Andrew’s second CD, (Watch What You Say), and was also nominated for a W.C. Handy award for best new blues artist. In 2001, Andrew’s third CD, (Mr. Domestic) was released on his own label Galexc Records. In 2005, Andrew signed and recorded his fourth and his first live CD, (Jr. Boy Live). Up to date 2009, Andrew signed with Electro-Fi Records, and released his fifth CD, (Gettin’ Real). Andrew thinks that this is some of his best writing to date. Andrew Jr. Boy Jones has toured: Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Chile, England, France, Italy, Lebanon, Monaco, Switzerland, and etc…

Hey There Jr. Boy, It was really great to see you at the Hole In The Wall on Friday night. "WHAT A TREAT FOR ME!" I only live a mile from that place, and I was on the way home from having dinner with my sister Ana at the Filling Station. I took some got really good pictures, that I'll probably post on my facebook page. I might even post them on here. What time is the special fund raiser for the "President" next Sunday at the Hole? I can't seem to find any information on it. You are such a Great guitar player, I feel honored to know you, Thanks to those Eberle brothers. Have a wonderful day, and I'm looking forward to 8/23.

Counting myself lucky to have heard a good portion of it live the last time you were here I am excited to get the cd into my possession as soon as possible. It is a fine, fine, moving body of work and so relevant to these times!!!

Hi there Jr. Boy! I just wanted to stop by to say hello! I've heard rumors that you played at The Filling Station a couple of times. I don't think you knew this....Ana Saldana is my sister..what a very small world. Remember the sad time at Eric's funeral Mark introduced you to Jerry Don Branch? Well Jerry Don is the one who plays with the Stratoblasters, and the other band Gunpoint. They'll be playing at Ana's place on July 11th. If you're in town, I sure would love to see you under different circumstances than the last 2 times. Take care and God Bless you and yours..Susan
