“Diana Jones writes songs which she sings in such a haunting high lonesome that one can’t help but wonder if she isn’t the lost daughter of the Carter Family.” - The New York Times
“Jones’s hard, rootless life fills every lonesome note she sings. Her voice is torn yet starkly pretty as she sings about love loss, and the uncertain quest for home” – The Boston Globe
“For once the buzz is right. Diana Jones is a complete knockout. She’ll break your heart and you’ll be glad she did.” - Philadelphia City Paper
“It goes without saying, Diana Jones is a consummate singer & writer, who totally charms audiences. Her music doesn’t sound like anyone else’s.” - Richard Thompson
“Her voice sounds like the smoke from a hand-rolled cigarette . . . It’s old-time, perhaps even out of time.” – No Depression
Adopted as an infant and raised in New York, Jones left home at the age of 15 in search of her roots. She was attracted to the music of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, as well as contemporary artists Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. When she was reunited with her birth family and the music of the Eastern Tennessee hills some years later, she discovered why that music had always moved her. In 2005 Jones was named a Kerrville New Folk winner, the most prestigious award in the singer-songwriter world. Join Diana for an intimate evening in Leeds on Wednesday October 21st, to find out why Roots Music Report said: “Wow, Wow, Wow this lady can sing and write a song like very few can do. Diana Jones performs with a confidence that seldom graces an artist.”
