High-energy stage performance. Sizzling hot guitar solos. Smooth and
soulful vocals. Backed by a rhythm section that is second to none, this
IS Dennis Jones. Check out a live show, and you’ll instantly agree, this
band ROCKS the blues like NO other!
Dennis's feet are firmly rooted in the past, yet his heart and soul
are connected to the present. He writes songs that seamlessly blend the
best of both worlds, presenting a unique and contemporary style of
American rock and blues.
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and now based in Los
Angeles, California, Jones continues to pursue his musical ambition of
becoming a top entertainer in his field. With four well-regarded CD
releases to date, and a fifth to be released in January 2016, Jones'
vision has never been clearer.
Dennis also writes songs for other notable artists, e.g. he wrote
the song Temporary Man for Guitar Shorty’s 2010 Alligator release, Bare
Knuckle.
Since 2003, Dennis has released four successful albums on his own
label, Blue Rock Records. Each and every one of these CDs has met with
rave reviews. Many of his songs and CDs have hit the top 10 on the Blues
Charts, including when his 3rd CD, Pleasure & Pain, ranked #2 of
best blues CD releases of the year, by the Canadian-based, Real Blues
Magazine. He's latest release, My Kinda Blues, features legendary guest
musicians, Kenny Neal, and Guitar Shorty.
Dennis is no stranger to film either. Deep Blues from his first CD,
Falling Up, was featured in a 2006 Lions Gate movie, Sea of Fear. The
title track of Dennis’s 2nd CD, Passion for the Blues, is featured in
the 2013 independent film, How We Got Away With It. Finally, Dennis is
one of several artists featured in the documentary film Babe’s &
Ricky’s Inn, a movie about one of the oldest blues clubs in Los Angeles,
and its adored owner.
The blues music industry is taking note. In May 2012, Dennis was
honored to present the Awards for BB King Entertainer of the Year, to
Tab Benoit, and Album of the Year, to the Tedeschi Trucks Band, for
Revelator, at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis, Tennessee.
Dennis and his band continue to work hard to achieve the next level
of musical success. Increased touring opportunities and greater exposure
to new fans will undoubtedly make this band a household name. So if the
same old blues has got you down, then it’s time to check out the Dennis
Jones Band!
