Brian Ashley Jones is a soulful singer, accomplished lead guitarist, and versatile songwriter. Jones' music is heavily influenced by the guitar driven Blues and Americana that he absorbed in his hometown, Spartanburg, South Carolina. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Jones maintains an active touring schedule and performs about 150 live shows per year at festivals, concert series, radio shows, and songwriter venues as well as being a recommended guitar clinician as part of NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) Pros On The Road program. The Brian Ashley Jones Trio and Duo have recently opened several sold out shows for Delbert McClinton and Marcia Ball.
Jones showcases his writing and playing chops with 11 well crafted original songs in his current release Courier. The swampy instrumental "Pull 'em Up" has been featured in the widely acclaimed PBS television series Road Trip Nation, and "Take" earned Brian a finalist position in the 2008 Emerging Songwriter's Contest at the Flat Rock Music Festival.
Along with his own busy touring schedule, Jones has accompanied a diverse batch of artists on stage and in the studio including Eric Heatherly, Caroline Aiken, Thom Shepherd, Sara Hickman, Donna Hopkins, Doug Jones, Donovan Roberts, Jeff Black, Diane Durrett, Ralph Roddenbery, Deep Blue Sun, Celeste Krenz, Wyatt Easterling, and Grammy Award winning songwriter Jon Vezner.
