GREG JONES PROJECT
Between his husky voice, precise guitar playing and down-to-earth presence, Greg Jones generates a connective musical experience that hangs in the balance of an intimate improv jazz session, a groove-filled jam show and a chill coffee shop concert.

The singer songwriter from Levittown, NY, on Long Island started with formal piano training until age 14 and taught himself how to play guitar by watching hair metal videos on MTV. But Jones’ musical journey distinctly began one Saturday morning in 1977 during a PBS channel plea for public funding, when a clip of Otis Redding and his Blue Suit flashed across the screen as a voiceover introducing the evening program selection as 1967’s Monterey Pop Festival. Everything else vanished, time stood still, and Jones knew: “That’s what I want to do for my job!”

Since the release of his debut solo album Like a Movie in 1999, Jones has written dozens of songs that he has been longing to record. Fast forward now, he can’t wait any more. Jones is currently all-consumed with recording and releasing his eagerly anticipated, lyrically charged and musically matured next offering with the help of his friends in Greg Jones Project, the Volume ONE EP.
