Album Notes

Brian Ashley Jones is a versatile singer, guitarist and songwriter who draws from a variety of traditional music to create his own brand of Americana. Jones is heavily influenced by the bluegrass, blues, country and rock that he heard as a child in the upstate area of South Carolina and in the early days of his music career in central Georgia.

Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, B.A.J. maintains an active performance schedule, averaging 200 live shows a year. Jones focuses on his own creative recording project these days after having worked as a sideman for other artists including Eric Heatherly, Sara Hickman, Caroline Aiken, Jon Vezner, Donna Hopkins, Corinne West, Ralph Roddenbery, David Gans, Michael Tolcher, Bomshel, Deep Blue Sun, Paper Sun, and Lisen Elwin.

Jones’ new acoustic trio featuring dobro artist Mark Van Allen and bassist Tisha Simeral has recorded eleven of Brian's songs for a Fall 2007 release entitled Courier. The instrumental "Pull 'em Up" has been selected for use in the widely acclaimed PBS series Road Trip Nation
