Professor Jones

Born in New Orleans, raised deep in bayou country, and washed up in the San Francisco Bay after traversing the Asian continent for several years, Jeremy Jones is a singer- songwriter/guitarist whose music blends the mud of the Louisiana swamps with the grit of Southern roots & soul adding a touch of psychedelia. His influences include legendary artists such as Dr. John, the Meters, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers Band.

Jeremy Jones has released two full length albums. In his latest release, Keep On Movin' (2015), he turns his attention to his homeland to rediscover its rich musical heritage. The album is a nod to some of his musical heroes from New Orleans and the Deep South, and it showcases his versatility as a songwriter and a guitarist. Keep On Movin' was recorded at Light Rail Studios in San Francisco, and it boasts some of the top musicians and studio engineers in California. Jeremy's previous release, From Here On (2010), is an all-acoustic concept album that features a 10-piece ensemble playing a range of jazz and folk to orchestral and raga music, and it is a stylistic nod to the late Nick Drake, one of Jeremy's biggest influences and musical inspirations at the time.

Jeremy has performed at notable Bay Area venues including Boom Boom Room, The New Parish, Bottom of the Hill, Brick & Mortar, and Ashkenaz, plus festivals such as Lost Sierra Hoedown and Festival International de Louisiane. He has had the privilege of supporting notable acts like Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds), Eric McFadden (P-Funk), Stu Allen & Mars Hotel, and Dead Winter Carpenters. Jeremy was a guest performer in Guitarmaggedon, and he has shared the stage with virtuosos such as Dan Lebowitz (ALO), Josh Clark (Tea Leaf Green), Jeff Miller (New Monsoon), Sean Leahy (M80 Mailbox), David Lockhart (Dead Winter Carpenters), Matthias McIntire (world-class violinist), and renowned jazz trumpeter, George Bell.

In 2014, Jeremy Jones Band was launched featuring an ever-evolving all-star cast of musicians fueling an energetic brand of swampedelic rock & soul. Prior to focusing on JJB, Jeremy co-founded Bay Area jam band Jigsaw Night, and he was a member of the psychedelic pop rock group OCHO, a band led by internationally recognized singer-songwriter Zac Brown.
