Jones, a popular and highly acclaimed artist
in Canada, widely regarded as one of that country’s premier touring blues acts,
is set to break out in the U.S. and worldwide markets with his first release on
acclaimed American roots music label Blind Pig Records, entitled Belmont
Boulevard. |
The album was produced in Nashville by
Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge, who’s helmed projects for Buddy Guy,
George Thorogood, and Susan Tedeschi. Jones said, "Signing with Blind Pig is
truly an honour and major milestone in my career. I am ecstatic to be on a
label that is a fixture in roots music."
Jones has played in nineteen
countries in his brief career, and recently opened tours for the late Johnny
Winter and Jimmie Vaughan, one of his strongest influences. Canada’s national
newspaper, the
Globe and Mail, based in Toronto, referred to Jones as
"one of this country's top blues guitar stars."
Billboard called JW
part of "a new wave of young talent moving onto Canada’s blues stage."
