She has been referred to as “Chrissie Hynde with a folk guitar” and compared to Sheryl Crow for her Americana and Folk-Rock influences. These comparisons she happily and humbly accepts. Influenced by a multitude of styles, Jones combines the craft of songwriting with her own unique sounds that range from Rock to Gospel. Whether playing her songs acoustic solo, or backed by her rock solid band, Jones delivers the lyrical sass and musical punch on which she has built her reputation. Jones' latest album, "Dark Horse" is her 7th release. www.lauriejonesmusic.com Laurie Jones: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3GpX2ueq0QY9IbKU2zAzrF?si=ZKzZJmXITbC63Id-vJrZHw CHRIS WENSKE: Songs about the heartland, leaving town, and experiences throughout the United States.
