Tina Jones style allows for the traditions of soul and R&B masters to meld with the provocative and intuitive techniques of jazz, hip hop, and deep house. Tinas reputation as a recording artist, entertainer and songwriter are recognized throughout Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast and Lower Mainland music scenes. On stage and in the studio, she has the ability to execute breath taking vocal performances along with adept improvisational abilities on the trumpet and flugelhorn. Her words and melodies provide a solid base for her natural vocal charisma.
From touring Canada and the USA fronting various ensembles, to solo and duo performances at festivals and concert venues in small communities, her shows continue to captivate live audiences. With a roster of talented musicians, the Tina Jones Band's dynamic is evident; communication, skill and flow are paramount. The live sound result is funky with a jazz influenced nuance that satisfies not only the avid music appreciator but also gets people dancing with R&B elements.
