Biography
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 squirm with delight. Southpaw has plied his trade in Houston, Nashville, and Los Angeles, but he now calls Austin home. He performs new songs weekly with Matt the Electrician and works tirelessly to reach those open-minded folks who thirst for singable melodies with 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 Lisa Loeb, performing in legendary listening rooms from coast to coast. 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 as an artist with a truly unique perspective. He makes listeners laugh, cry, and think, often within a single song.
