Often backed and supported by a large ensemble of musicians, his original music and creative, theatrical events have played to countless packed and sold-out clubs and theaters throughout the United States.

Remember Jones’ debut album, Ladies and Gentlemen, Remember Jones!, was created after raising close to $19,000 through nearly 300 small donations via IndieGoGo, and created in front of a live studio audience with a 25-piece band. In 2017, his subsequent release, Tranquilizer!, was recorded at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, TN, under the production of Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray For the Riff Raff, Langhorne Slim) and was named one of Paste Magazine and Daytrotter’s Top 10 R&B/Soul Artists of 2017. A 3rd album, currently untitled, is in production and planned for a 2021 release.

In addition to touring and supporting two albums worth of original material, Remember Jones presents and fronts multiple productions which have also gained wide popularity. back to BACK TO BLACK, a recreation of the entire Amy Winehouse album with an orchestra of 12, Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen in a 20-piece arrangement, YAS QUEEN!, a theatrical celebration of the music of Queen and Freddie Mercury with a full choir and unique arrangements, and more have helped Remember Jones develop a diverse audience. The company has also performed commissioned events, including Jeff Buckley's Grace album in its entirety as a collaboration with Grammy-nominated guitarist and Grace co-writer Gary Lucas, a 50th Anniversary concert experience of the musical HAIR, and a live revival of Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak with a 25-piece orchestra, and more.

Remember Jones has shared stages with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes, Darlene Love, Buster Poindexter, Nigel Hall, Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, and more, further justifying his versatility. In the vein of putting a spin on the work of other artists, Remember Jones released Ain’t That a Kick in the Head?!, a single in celebration of Dean Martin’s 100th birthday, sharing studio time with Dean’s daughter, Deana Martin.

Whether you see him alongside a piano, a four-piece rock band, or with a large orchestra, Remember Jones evokes the energy of the greatest front men and women, with one of a kind song styling and expert storytelling that keep audiences on their toes and emotions in the moment.
