About Jones
Local Irish Singer Songwriter makes evergreen music
Quote, "A Native of Dublin, Ireland, the now Sedona based singer/songwriter has regularly appeared on Irish Televisions Late Late Show, as well as Dublin music venues and Irish music festivals, and was a founding member of the U2-inspired rock band "Mixed up World". In the 1980's, Jones went on to become an accomplished solo artist, conjuring comparisons with such Irish recording artists as Christy Moore, Van Morrison and Paul Brady. Since his arrival in the United States, Jones has become a Southwestern Celtic fixture, touring the Irish Pub circuit throughout Arizona and New Mexico.
Jones follow up the Twenty One years, his best of collection is a solo live double album called Celtic Crossings Live, is a testament to his longevity in a challenging genre and business. Recorded with Tim Jessup, sound engineer for the band Chicago it features traditional Irish ballads and ditties, thoughtful covers and Jones's own finely crafted material and outstanding guitar and vocal work. The soulful album transcends the traditional American Irish music listening window to become something the ears will crave to hear repeatedly. His Band Dublin Soul consists of outstanding musicians in their field, Jane Hilton on Fiddle, practically a house hold name in Phoenix for her expertise, Corey Ticknor, a brilliant Mandolin player and music teacher at the Verde Valley Girls School in Sedona, Janet Daniels on Drums and Rich Neville on bass but listeners won't regret finding him in person for a live show of folk rock and blues done in dynamic contemporary Celtic style by this exceptionally skilled Irish-Arizona artist. hear him every Monday starting at 6.30pm throughout 2013 at the original "Oak Creek Brewing Company" located at 2050 Yavapai drive in West Sedona, (928 204 1300 oakcreekbrew.com/oakcreek/events.php) with regular special guest appearing also.
Accolades
Anton Perkins from USA Today described his music as "exciting, electric and wonderfully original.."
After his American Concert Debut at the George Washington University Marvin Center in 1996 The Washington Post Wrote: "the sound in reminiscent of the more spiritual music of the 60's... guitar layered harmonies and musical lines repeating into ethereal spirals..."
Christopher Graham of Kudos wrote: "Karl Jones fuses jazz, blues and rock influences exploring a new contemporary approach to music with his folk rock background."
