Dennis Jones Band "On Tour"
Jay Meduri
With sizzling hot guitar solos, smooth, soulful vocals, and an electrifying stage presence, the Dennis Jones Band delivers blues that doesn’t just pay homage to tradition—it rocks it forward. Originally from Baltimore and now based in Los Angeles, Dennis channels decades of musical evolution, shaped by icons like Hendrix, BB King, and Jimmy Page, then refines that lineage with his own modern flair. Whether opening for legends such as Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, George Thorogood, or leading powerhouse sets at festivals across the USA, Australia, Europe, and beyond, they’ve proven time and again that they’re no opener—they’re front and center.
Their latest album, About Time (released June 28, 2024), is a tour‑de‑force of fiery fretwork, swagger, and songwriting confidence—earning it a nomination for Best Blues Rock Album at the 2025 Blues Music Awards. Add in accolades like the Bobby Rush Blues Entertainer Award in 2023 and a robust catalog of eight critically praised CDs (all on his own Blue Rock Records label), and you’ve got a blues-rock institution fiercely independent, indelibly authentic, and irresistibly alive.
