What They Say About Justin Jones

As a bass player always looking for work, I received a call to play a handful of gigs with an up-and-coming Virginia singer/songwriter, so, I accepted the job as I would any other. When I met and played with Justin Jones, however, I realized I had stumbled upon something special. As a person, he's incomparable. He's a walking contradiction: vulgar yet profound, loud yet pensive, a jerk yet the best friend you could ever hope to have. He possesses a magnetic personality and more importantly, I quickly realized that Justin was not just a typical songwriter.

His songs stand up and demand to be heard. They are tales of heartbreak and addiction, joyful poems, anthems unintended for the stadium but for the lonely bedroom. Having suffered abandonment, addiction, and loss, thirty seconds of one of Justin's songs has more soul than an entire hour's worth of radio-friendly monotony. He's a soulful singer with both his harmonica and voice-I hope to see his music make it to the masses for their sake and not just his own.
