BIOGRAPHY
Jay Jones has rocked stages all the way from Tennessee to Louisiana and beyond. Jay was born and raised in Memphis, where music was very much a part of his life from early on. He was always performing in church and participating in school musicals. “I’d get up and sing anywhere they’d let me,” says Jones. Eventually Jones was recruited to be lead singer for a local cover band, where he was able to hone in on working the stage. “I always appreciated the immediate feedback you get from audiences during shows. If they’re having fun, you’ll know it.” After seven years of performing with the band, Jones went into the studio with Grammy nominated producer Justin Rimer to record his own material. In 2018 he released his first album “Country Boy Proud”. His unique sound is something he calls “Head Bangin’ Country”, a combination of Country and Rock.
