Jones was formed in 1998 in Los Angeles by Jason Michael, Mick Tinsley, Chris Gubisch, Lou Canakes, and Bobby Wintersteen. Inspired by old R&B and new funk, their style was unique to the L.A. scene. Jones continued to play to West coast audiences until 2003, when Jason returned to Texas and revamped his lineup. The new sound adds a greater influence of Blues and Soul. The Jones members are well connected in the Dallas music community and like to experiment with sound. Often, they surprise audiences by including guest performers on violin, piano, horns, and other instruments.
