Classic Bio
Modest in name and image, Liz hooks first timers with an unexpected sailing raw and incomparable voice, that swings from moody soothing to "raising the dead". She holds audiences with unruly songwriting and an honest display of natural release in performance. Touring from her base and long term home in Edinburgh, Jones was born in Lewisham, with many years in London either side of school days in Cumbria and Nottingham, she self acknowledges as a "woman from nowhere".
Alt Bio
Nomadic and restless, with the instinctive and timeless urge to deliver ideas through songs and stage. Her writing fuelled by a topsy turvy life, deeply wry humour and lots to say about tangible and human experience. Jones has carved a path independently in the roots music scenes, liked by folk crowds for her storytelling, by the blues clubs for a voice that wails like a rusty old harmonica, by the seekers of new music for being defiantly and unapologetically real life.
Repeatedly quoted as being a "No Bullsh*t Artist"! for her light hearted and wry approach to life.
Extra copy
Waving goodbye to genre, each tune is simply taken where it needs to go to tell the tale, but Jones’ vibe lies within the 60s, Lauren Canyon spirit of free song craft, no rules or boxes. Solo shows include the honest and unphased character of Liz, who openly discusses the failures, journeys and triggers for her songs. As an atheist, a traveller, a happy go lucky outlooker, yet with a large appetite for explaining all the heavy corners of human emotion, Jones is quiet a contradiction.

LIVE SHOWS
As solo performer, Liz Jones regularly tours the UK and Netherlands. She has this year toured both North and South England, independently. Arts centres, roots venues and iconic places such as The Golden Hinde ship in central London, have all hosted her in 2024. As a fully independent artist, these shows have come from her own efforts in making industry connections, and many reputable venues, such at The John Peel Centre (Stowmarket), The Acorn (Penzance), will see her return in 2025 with her full band, after well attended debuts.

RECORDED WORK
With a debut "solo" album release in 2022, 'Bounty', Jones is recording again in 2025. Bounty was self released and over 2500 CD copies have been sold without any label support, online and at gigs. Even though Liz can fill a stage as a lone performer, her adoration for musicians is satisfied in 'Bounty', which celebrates them throughout. She rejects the current tide of hidden away music production, sampling and digital instrumentation. Bounty is a signature of what she loves, which is a more traditional, collaborative and very human kind of song making.

FACTUAL BIO
South London born, Cumbria raised, Jones returned as a young adult to the south, to cut her musical teeth in the open mics of Lewisham, Peckham & Brixton. On a whim she ditched an all consuming career in television production, and moved to Scotland. Later closing a 5 year chapter running a cafe in Edinburgh, she began focussing on carving a music career in her 30s. Jones now tours and records both solo and with the full band; Broken Windows, stalwart roots musicians that she met the 'old school' way, at jam sessions and music events in the capitol.
