| About Jones |
|
Songs of faded postmarks and Lowell George postcards. Of dreams of Kerouac and Brautigan and old John Muir. Of light falling on a girl like the sun shone just for her...
These are songs which take you from rain dirty Glasgow streets through California, Iona, the islands and London's handpainted skies.
Jones are a soulful acoustic band formed by Glasgow singer-songwriter Mark McLaughlin, guitarist James Byron and double-bass player Pete Rawlings.
They are already gaining many plaudits on the London live scene having supported James Grant, Teddy Thompson, Boo Hewerdine, Peter Bruntnell and Michael Weston King amongst others.
Soulful vocals, sweet harmonies, warm intricate guitars and bass combine with accordion, mandolin, piano, cello and fiddle to produce crafted narrative songs which evoke thoughts of the classic and contemporary - Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Kelly Joe Phelps and Patty Griffin.
Jones are recording their debut CD for release in 2009.
