Justin Jones (singer-songwriter)

Justin Phillip Jones (born August 17, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter. In addition to singing, he plays piano, guitar, and harmonica. His music has been described by the Washington Post as "electrified country and roots-rock that leaves plenty of space for Jones to hold court...like Dave Grohl when at full throttle and Townes Van Zandt when at ease." He has toured North America extensively, and with a backing band that has sometimes been referred to as the Driving Rain. He is the first artist signed to 9:30 Records.

Early life

Jones grew up in Rawley Springs, Virginia. His interest in music began as a child hearing bluegrass music at his family’s parties, and when his mother gave him Music from Big Pink by The Band. Jones started playing guitar at four or five-years-old, and writing songs at thirteen. His first performances were open-mic nights at bars in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Career

He moved to Washington, D.C. “as a stepping stone to New York,” and with the idea that if he could play a show at the 9:30 Club, he would have made it. In D.C. he recorded his first album Blue Dreams in 2004. He recorded the album in one day with just himself and his guitar. For a period of a couple years after Blue Dreams, Jones “got deep into drugs and lived out of my car.” During this time he managed to record his second album, Love Verses Heroin. He got help from a girlfriend who paid for rehab, despite having been split up. By the time he recorded his third album, …And I Am the Song of the Drunkards, in 2007 he was clean.
