DURAND JONES & THE INDICATIONS' MAKE A CHANGE TOUR ARRIVES
IN AUSTIN NEXT WEEK FOR 6 SXSW SHOWS AND MAKES AN EARLY APPEARANCE IN
TOWN THIS SAT. FOR AN ANTONE'S SHOW WITH ALOE BLACC & WHITNEY!
"Back
in July when Durand Jones & The Indications debut album was released,
we had no idea what the world would think,” explains Terry Cole from
Colemine Records. "After all, the record, albeit finely crafted, was
conceived in a dingy Indiana basement on a shoestring budget of 452 dollars and
11 cents (we kept receipts). They didn't have ‘buzz.' They didn't have a
following. They didn't have the measured flash of more polished
operations. But as the final mixes spun off of the master reel, we knew what
they did have was one remarkable soul record. To our delight, the record was a
smash and their no-frills LP continues to fly off the shelves."
Now,
by popular demand, Durand Jones & his mighty Indications are hitting the
road on their first U.S. tour. They've already sold out the first two
shows of this tour in NYC and Chicago, so don't sleep — go out and
catch them in your city.

HERE'S
WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT DURAND JONES AND THE INDICATIONS:
“Durand Jones singing is a rare combination of
purity and power—unlike his Daptone forefathers, Jones hasn’t endured decades
of smoky bars and tough breaks. Though sonic comparisons to Charles Bradley and
Lee Fields are unavoidable, Jones’s youth and DIY ambition make him stand out
against the overarching narrative of rediscovery that has become all too
familiar. These aren’t middle-aged session guys in fedoras propping up an aged
belter long since fossilized on a dusty 45. It’s a band that writes compelling
original material and turns out ultrafun, dance-filled performances at the
club. If, like many folks, you’re missing the panache and energy of the late
Sharon Jones, this Jones will definitely fill the void.” - CHICAGO READER
“A young singer with a classic sound, Louisiana
native Durand Jones aims to fill the Charles Bradley-shaped hole in your
heart.” - AUSTIN
AMERICAN-STATESMAN
“Easily one of the best deep soul albums we've heard in
years.” - DUSTY GROOVE
“Album of The Year” Rock Pop & Soul - SOMETHING
ELSE REVIEWS
“Durand Jones has the wail of Alabama Shakes’ Brittany
Howard, the nostalgic toe-popping vibes of Leon Bridges and a record to compete
with both.” - THE OBSERVER
“Durand
Jones and the Indications hearken back to a time when soul was recorded,
performed, and (if possible) heard live.” - POPMATTERS
"The album is beautifully produced... Jones absolutely
dominates the songs with his powerful, soulful and ever-evolving voice.” -
SPILL MAGAZINE
“…a phenomenal debut and modern soul record.” - EASY STREET
RECORDS
“ … a very sharp debut album… a total gem.” - THE VINYL
DISTRICT
