Sounds Like
...a blues band playing a variety of cool grooves and styles with solid conviction and appreciation for the music with a fresh approach.
"One of this country's top blues guitar stars" writes the Globe and Mail about 28-year old JW-Jones.
JW-Jones has played throughout the world (CANADA, USA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, BRAZIL) and has been invited to share the stage with some of the biggest names in blues today (to play with, not open for), The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Junior Watson, Little Charlie & The Nightcats, Rusty Zinn, Rick Holmstrom, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers, Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets, The Mannish Boys, the legendary Hubert Sumlin, and many more.
Whether recording/touring with Jeff Asselin, and Martin Régimbald, or adding the heavy grooves of Jesse Whiteley on organ, the musicians with Jones always add a powerful energy to the stage.
During a special appearance with the band, Hollywood celebrity and fan, Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues) said "this is an amazing blues band, and I've played with the best!"
Their third album, My Kind Of Evil (2004), was produced by multi-Grammy nominee Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds), and features Canadian guest star Colin James on two smokin' tracks.
Adding a fourth CD to their collection, Kissing in 29 Days (2006), featured the legendary Ray Charles sax player, David "Fathead" Newman.
Their discs have garnered radio-play worldwide, including heavy rotation on some commercial radio stations, and features on shows such as the internationally syndicated House of Blues Radio Hour. The buzz this band has created over the last few years earned them a national award for Electric Act of the Year at Toronto's Maple Blues Awards and rave reviews throughout the globe. With their heavy schedule, this ranks the band as one of the hardest touring blues acts in the country.
2008 will welcome the bands fifth release with NorthernBlues Music, (currently untitled), featuring the two most influential blues guitarists on the west coast; Little Charlie Baty, and Junior Watson, playing together on the same tracks for the first time in a combined 70 year career. This first time collaboration has been called "a recording of historic importance". It also features arguably the best rhythm section in blues, Richard Innes on drums and Larry Taylor on bass.
JW-Jones and his blues band are ready to take on any challenge, and with their unique sound, they are going to set the world on fire one country at a time!
Awesome show in Mont Tremblant man. Little Charlie rocked too and having all you guys together with Rick Estrin...Woah! Blues Heaven! Safe travels in Switzerland next week and Also, Happy B-Day on the 15th.
Will Scott's new album, GNAWBONE is here!!! The CD is available at CDBaby and other online retailers.
Over three years in the making, GNAWBONE is Scott's fully-produced studio debut and features a crack team of hand-picked musicians as well as guest performances by Jan Bell, Jolie Holland, Samantha Parton, and Preacher Boy (the album's producer).
Thanx man! :D Yeah, let me know when you're in Switzerland. I don't know yet if I can be there, but it would be nice to see you all again!
I'm so jealous of you that you're gonna record in SUN studio with those great musicians and of course Hubert Sumlin! That's great stuff man! :D
By the way, if you sent me an email with your adress (don't have it anymore) than I'll sent you a copy of the 1st Tinez Roots Club cd. Cheers bro! Tinez
it's been a long time! How're you doing? Still very busy playing and touring?
I wanted to let you know that I've started a new project called 'Tinez Roots Club'. We play my songs, which are a mix of rhythm 'n blues/soul/swing. Our 1st (called 'Something You Got') will be ready this week. You can already listen to 5 songs on my profile.
I'm curious what you think of it!
Cheers! Lewis, now officialy known as Tinez (pronounce Teenez) :D
