JW-Jones
 continues to evolve as one of Canada’s most versatile bluesmen, with one foot in the terra firma of the traditional blues espoused by the likes of Howlin’ Wolf sideman Hubert Sumlin and harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite (who both guested on Jones’ memorable 
Midnight Memphis Sun, recorded at the historic Sun Studio) and blues contemporaries Robert Cray, for whom the JW-Jones band has occasionally opened, he continues to challenge and raise his standards through his recordings and the 130 dates on average yearly that he clocks in on the road.
With the last JW-Jones studio project, the Colin Linden-produced High Temperature, capturing the coveted Memphis Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge honours for Best Self-Released CD, the frequent resident of Billboard’s Top 10 Blues charts and roots radio favourite continues to accelerate his career momentum to new heights, whether it’s as a personally-requested sit-in with the likes of blues legend Buddy Guy, opening for blues rock icons Johnny Winter and George Thorogood or entertaining thrilled audiences in 23 countries and four continents.

Check out these reviews!
"This young man is one of the people who will keep the blues alive." - Buddy Guy

"Slick guitar playing, beautiful arrangements, and an immediate personable connection with not only the audience, but also with everyone backstage made JW-Jones a stand-out at our festival!  Gifted artist, and a downright nice guy.  It doesn't get any better!" 
Bob Halvorsen, Thunder Bay Blues Festival

"Jones proves that he is not just a gifted guitarist, singer/songwriter but he continues to represent and channel the old school blues sound which has been handed down by the greats, whilst at the same time adding a contemporary twist which blues music fans can relate to in the present day" 
National Rock Review [England]

"This is an amazing blues band" - Dan Aykroyd [Elwood Blues]

“JW-Jones is one of the best we've seen in 14 years! The fans loved it!” 
Jacques Dubé, Festival Jazz & Blues de Saguenay [Chicoutimi, QC]

"Highly regarded in blues circles" - Blues Revue Magazine

"Nor will you find a more entertaining or sharp dressed performer either side of the pond" 
FabricationsHQ [Glasgow, Scotland]

"JW's got it down! So much soul, and nice material. You can't beat it!" 
- Hubert Sumlin, Legendary Bluesman

His evolution as a musician and vocalist shine through on this record like never before. Real songs, real playing by real people, and JW is the real deal.”
Chuck Leavell [The Rolling Stones] 
*High Temperature Liner Notes

"JW engages with the crowd in a way that few artists remember to do, and his demeanour is relaxed even as his playing is explosive. It’s an amazing performance as JW effortlessly gathers the audience into the palm of his hand.  Few gigs have such a feel-good factor appended to them."SonicAbuse.com
