"Jones’ comes to River City"

The River City Saloon brings Seattle jam band Nefarious Jones to the stage on Thursday, Aug. 27. “Converging to pursue one common goal, Nefarious Jones wants to jam a music fueled dragster headlong into the cosmos, calling it space-rock-jam-groove.” - - Jim Drake, Hood River News (Aug 26, 2009)

Bio

Funky rhythms, killer jams. Highly infectious. Breathe it in... now it's a part of you! So get loose. Start the dance. Unleash the primal self - succumb to NEFARIOUS JONES! Go ahead and get funky. We want you to.

Nefarious Jones has developed into an improvisational rock machine since redefining its rhythm section and adopting a "less is more" approach to jamming. Their sound is raw, eclectic & unpredictable - like an Ottoman bazaar skirmish or a Jovian convective storm.

That's why Nefarious Jones is playing more shows at bigger venues in front of fantastic crowds as they continue to develop fun songs, impress their original style upon tasty covers, and explore far-out jams...

Fanbase: approx 1,000 (and growing...)
Draw: approx 200 weekend / 75 weeknight
Original Material: 20 songs, 120+ total minutes

Influences: Talking Heads, Phish, Pink Floyd, P-Funk, The New Mastersounds, Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Beck, Zappa, Ween, Led Zeppelin, The Doors
