   About JJ
“Mesmerizing.”

“I couldn’t take my eyes off you.”

“You are so much fun to watch!”

“It’s almost like you’re dancing on the drums...”

Jennifer "JJ" Jones began playing drums and guitar at age fourteen while attending a high school for the arts in Seattle. During her career she has been the drummer and arranger/producer for a multitude of bands and studio projects covering a wide variety of styles. JJ plays with the folk-pop band Girlyman. She has also toured nationally and internationally with the Canadian band Po' Girl, and played with many solo singer/songwriters including Ellis, Edie Carey, Vance Gilbert, Beth Wood, and Tret Fure, among many others. In 2008, JJ played with six acts at both the National Women's Music Festival and the Red Rock Women's Festival. This August she returned for her third year as an instructor at the Rocky Mountain Song School.

A sensitive and expressive player, JJ specializes in finding the just the right touch and dynamics in a song.

I'm doing Colorado in May! Will you be there?

I almost said "let's do it together," and then I thought better of it, and now I've said it anyway.

emily
