"JONES IS BLESSED WITH A WARM SMOKY VOICE."- WESTWORD
"KIM JONES' SONGS ARE MINDFUL AND IN TOUCH WITH THE HUMAN SPIRIT."
-SCENE MAGAZINE
New York native Kim Jones is a singer/songwriter based in Denver, Colorado where she
performs in coffee houses and other select venues such as The Soiled Dove. Jones’ style has been described as folk rock with rich acoustic rhythms and melodic vocals supported by a rock groove. Jones finished recording her second CD entitled Road Dreams which was released in 2002, on the heels of her debut 10-song compilation Life’s Mysteries which hit the streets in 2000. A finalist in the 1998 Lilith Fair Talent Search, Jones is an accomplished teller of tales whose music is as rich melodically as it is lyrically enchanting.
“I like telling stories through my music,” says Jones. “Whether it’s about places I’ve been or people I have met or to share life’s journeys, my music lets me speak from the heart in a way that’s very personal to me. I believe my audience can relate to these songs because they are all real experiences that we all go through. It’s what makes us all human - these dreams and fears.”
A good example of Jones’ story telling is evident on many tracks of Road Dreams especially “Journeymen” - the true story of her great-grandparents immigration to New York’s lower east side, and “Connecticut Towns” an ode to the northwest corner of Connecticut where Jones spent her formative teenage years. “Connecticut Towns” is Jones’ personal homage to a time and place that remains reassuringly constant in a world fraught with change. “I was back in Connecticut visiting my brother and sister when this song came clear to me” says Jones. “It was just so good to be back driving down these familiar country roads surrounded by giant trees, red barns, and quaint farms. With the wind in my hair and the sun playing off the dappled trees, I felt as I did as a teenager with the whole world stretched out in front of me.”
John Magnie of the Subdudes accompanied Jones on accordian and keyboards on most of the tracks on Road Dreams, along with other top flight musicians. The album was recorded through Denver based Bendiksen Productions. Producer, Lance Bendiksen has worked with noted artists such as Arista’s Sarah McLachlan and RCA’S The Cowboy Junkies, Road Dreams was mixed and mastered by renowned studio engoneer James Tuttle.
Kim Jones has two tracks fom Road Dreams (“Ride the Wave” and “Demons”) in rotation on the Mountain's Homegrown Show, for one of Denver’s premier radio staion's - 99.5 the Mountain. "Ride The Wave" was recently added to the playlist on radio station's KRFC FM-
