Short Bio

Modest in name and image, Liz shocks first timers with an unexpected sailing raw and incomparable voice, that swings from soothing the mind to "raising the dead". She holds audiences with unruly songwriting and a display of release in natural performance and intense delivery of stories and ideas.

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 her failures, journeys and acute moments 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 tours the UK and Netherlands. She has this year toured both North and South England, completely independently. Arts centres, roots venues and prestigious 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, after well attended debuts.

Also you can catch her 6 piece roots rock band, 'Broken Windows' at festivals and headline shows. See their EPK here.

RECORDED WORK

With only 1 "solo" album release in 2022, 'Bounty', Jones gears up for another record in 2025. Bounty was self released and over 1500 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.
