Chris Jones

Chris Jones believes that it is the audience who should be in the driver’s seat at one of his shows. He puts out several playlist, containing around 200 songs for the audience to have a choice in his song selection. His cover songs range anywhere from The Drifters, to Kings of Leon, from Johnny Cash, to Lady GaGa. Chris feels that those who attend his show, deserve to have a say in what they hear.

The Space that Chris requires to set up is very minimal. He doesn’t need any more room than that of a karaoke show and sometimes even less. Chris provides all his own equipment including P.A. system. The only thing Chris needs is a chair, and a 120v power outlet, which is the same outlet you plug a toaster into.

The duration of Chris’ show depends on the needs of the client. He plays anything from one song to walk a beautiful bride down the aisle, to an entire night of crowd pleasing, sing-a-long music. On a typical four hour night, Chris will play hour long sets with a minimal break in between; however the duration of Chris’ sets can be adjusted to the needs of the client.

Breaking the conventional rock band format, Chris prefers the intimate settings of his one-man acoustic shows. With a sound and personality that is unmistakably his own, Chris creates camaraderie with his audience, inviting them back for more. With a distinctive acoustic rock sound, Chris performs both his own songs and a variety of uniquely arranged cover songs.

Originally from Tarkio, MO Chris developed a love of music early in life. Listening to his two older brothers play guitar created a desire to play that would not be satisfied by listening alone. At the age of sixteen Chris picked up a guitar, and can’t seem to put it down. In 1992 Chris attended a one-man acoustic show that inspired him to create his own and has largely shaped the direction of his music since.

In September of 2001 Chris was afforded the opportunity to travel to California to perform rhythm acoustic guitar and backup vocals for Brian Bateman’s debut CD, White Lie, (engineered by Guy Charbonneau for Le Mobile remote recording studios).

Chris’ debut CD, Paradise, was released in the spring of 2002 to much acclaim. Two years later in the spring of 2004, with a little help from some friends, Chris released his sophomoric efforts. A comedy CD entitled The Nebraska City Trailer Park Chronicles. Chris has since relocated to Omaha, NE where he continues to perform his one-man acoustic shows.
