Stevie’s roots were laid down busking and playing floor spots at folk clubs in his native Northants. In the 90s he lived for two years in Germany, extensively gigging and spent time in Dublin, playing on the city’s fibrant open mic scene. These experiences provided him with a wealth of influences and inspiration and for the last four years he has been joined on stage by the awesome guitar skills of Mark Gill. The hard-working duo have now built up a reputation across the East Midlands as a solid live act supporting the likes of Nick Harper, Ian Mc Nabb, Slaid Cleaves and Chris Helme, plus slots at Leicesters’ top festivals Big Session and Summer Sundae, whilst hosting a number of their own successful open mic nights and showcases. Their debut album, ‘New Life’ gained good reviews and positive press/radio coverage whilst the track 'Million Miles' was voted to number two in The Weekender BBC Radio Northampton listeners' chart. An acoustic download album ‘Weather The Storm’ was released last year. This year they played The Big Session Festival at De Montfort Hall and Gardens Friday June 19th headlining the Orange Tree Tent that night and followed this with a live album and DVD being recorded at the citys' prestigous venue The Musician on Sat 25th July. This will be released this autumn, see clip below. For more info and music check out the face book group STEVIE JONES AND MARK GILL
