About Me |
|
| Purchase my music on or order CDs from SOUTHPAWJONES.COM . Join my e-mail list for monthly updates and performance reminders: Southpaw Jones treads lightly on the thin ice of irreverent honesty. Being left-handed, he naturally turns his guitar upside-down to make playing more comfortable. Being a creative little brother, he naturally turns the world upside-down to make his audience less comfortable. Southpaw has plied his trade in Houston, Nashville, and Los Angeles, but he now calls Austin home, performing each Wednesday at Café Mundi and reaching out to find those open-minded folks who thirst for singable melodies and one-of-a-kind lyrics. Southpaw has had the honor of opening shows for Eliza Gilkyson, Dan Bern, Slaid Cleaves, James McMurtry, Terri Hendrix, and Shake Russell, performing in legendary venues like Austin's Cactus Café and Nashville's Bluebird Café. He has performed with 5 instruments in 17 states during the past 10 years, but who's counting? While most comfortable in front of an intimate crowd of committed listeners, Southpaw is at home on stages big and small. In a world of men with guitars he stands out, singing about The Cruelty of Teenage Girls, The Last Remaining Beatle, White Boy Blues, a Moon Whore, and the theory that girls with amnesia are Hot So Hot. He makes listeners laugh, cry, and think, often within a single song. |
