Bounty [2022 debut solo album]

” … From the R&B brilliance of “Accused” to the soft intimacy of “Nazareth,” Jones shows off a vocal range (and an ability to properly apply it) that many singer-songwriters reach for… Bounty is both powerful and versatile … “

SHORT BIO

Songwriter Liz Jones, originally from South London, via Cumbria, has landed a creative base in Edinburgh working beside celebrated & internationally toured musicians on her original music. A singer also in the roots rock & blues worlds, most known for a hybrid soothing and raucous “voice that could wake the dead”.

Wry, idiosyncratic, biting at reality and often personal lyrics coming from an unconventional life and a ‘peace & love’ hippy spirit. Performed in a, ‘whichever way the wind blows’ style, Jones has been bizarrely compared vocally to both Dusty Springfield and Janis Joplin, but neither are correct. New releases are expected in 2023, after the all originals debut solo album ‘Bounty’, received worldwide radio play and excellent reviews.

SINGER SONGWRITER

Liz Jones

Back to the roots of a singer-songwriter, a simple ‘pluck’n’roll’ rhythm guitar style and a voice with a power and tone you don’t expect. But the biggest strength is the natural spirit of her performance. Determined delivery combined with a real, un-polished voice and easy stage manner. Her subjects are not typical:

“… the songs have all come from a voice that has lived a full life and has stories to tell, that we can all relate to in one way or another… Narcissist is just simply different subject matter from what I may ever have heard…” Rocking Magpie.

Personal Bio

I came to Edinburgh on a complete whim. After four exhausting, wild but all consuming years in television production I left London, via a few months working out what mattered in South America. I was looking for a life with time for music. Within four months I’d met many of the musicians I work with now, remembering like it was yesterday when one of them said, “Liz, let’s get ye’a band”.

Influences, inspirations, as a songwriter too many obvious ones I won’t mention! I listen to Black blues artists, roots acoustic & Chicago electric, and the guitar-centric band music that came after it, Southern rock (Little Feat), British rock (Peter Green, Rolling Stones), Country Blues (Bonnie Raitt, J.J.Cale).  Right now I’m spending hours with Taj Mahal & Tedeschi Trucks Band. A week rarely passes without bit of John Martyn or the Grateful Dead.

I’m sometimes asked about this: Acknowledging my privileges, as white person who grew up in the 90s/00s in the UK, with an open minded family, being a bisexual has been easier than being a person that likes pineapple on pizza. I choose not to link either, overtly, to my ‘artist’ identity, though am open to discuss both!
