Welcome to the website of singer, songwriter, and
multi-instrumentalist
Brian Ashley Jones! |
Brian Ashley Jones is a soulful singer, accomplished lead
guitarist, and versatile songwriter who draws from a variety of traditional
music to create his own brand of Americana. Described as "Blues Grass",
Jones' music is heavily influenced by the guitar driven blues, bluegrass,
country, and rock that he absorbed while growing up in a musically
diverse family in South Carolina. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee and
endorsed by Taylor Guitars, Jones maintains an active touring
schedule and performs about 150 live shows per year.
Jones showcases his writing and playing chops with 11 well crafted
original songs in his 2007 release
Courier. The swampy instrumental "Pull 'em Up" has been featured
in the widely acclaimed PBS television series
Road Trip Nation, and the
lighthearted bluegrass tune "Johnny Appleweed" has been selected as the
theme song of a feature length film.
Along with his own busy touring schedule, Jones has found time to accompany
a diverse batch of artists on stage and in the studio including Eric
Heatherly, Caroline Aiken, Sara Hickman, Donna Hopkins, and Grammy Award
winning songwriter Jon Vezner.
