Laney Jones is "everything that’s good about rock and roll” says GRAMMY-winning icon Lucinda Williams.
And like Williams, Jones's road has been hard fought. Cutting her teeth on mics literally and metaphorically across the US for the past decade, Jones's free-wheeling, do-it-yourself lifestyle is the stuff of modern folklore. With few prospects when the Florida-raised Jones first moved to Nashville in 2017 with her life and musical partner (Brian Dowd), they made rent by stacking beers at the local Piggly Wiggly. A chameleon of a songwriter, Jones has since found other ways to pay the bills, licensing songs for pop projects to the likes of Guinness and Google, but the music the couple creates cuts deeper than that. It's personal.
And nothing shows more clearly the spirit of their work than one of their latest self-produced and mixed release, the aptly titled “Feel Something” – “If everything wasperfect, and we lived just like a king, I don’t know if it would matter, babe, I don’t know if I could sing. It’s the ripping of my heart out – the flicker of a dream – that binds us to tomorrow and makes us feel something.” Catchy, yet raw and arrestingly sincere, it's no wonder Jones's cult following has been steadily growing since the release of their seminal record Stories Up High (2022) produced by Andrjia Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Langhorne Slim) of the famed Bomb Shelter in East Nashville.
