Biography
Anyone spotting the name John Paul Jones might first assume a connection to the Led Zeppelin bassist, yet that assumption clears up only part of the confusion once the Georgia musician hits the road alongside his sibling, drummer Tom Jones. The two performers, whose shared surname evokes celebrated figures, trace their roots to Georgia’s Appalachian Mountains and have earned recognition for the extensive benefit concerts they organize throughout the region. In practice, the local John Paul Jones likely completes more charity appearances in a single month than his British namesake manages across ten years.
His solo release Shiny Eyes appeared on an independent Southern imprint in 2001, coinciding with roughly thirty years spent in the music industry. His circle of musical associates extends beyond family to include Bob Burns, the onetime Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer featured on “Free Bird,” together with guitarists Doug Hogg and Jack White.
