Laney Jones and the Spirits

Laney Jones and the Spirits have big f*cking heart. It's undeniable watching Jones who usually performs on her gnarly 1960s Sears Roebuck Silvertone guitar with her life and musical partner (Brian Dowd) holding the heartbeat on the drums. They're "everything that’s good about rock and roll” says GRAMMY-winning icon Lucinda Williams. And like Williams, their road has been hard fought.

Catchy yet arrestingly sincere as an artist and songwriter, it’s no wonder Jones’s following has been steadily growing since the release of her seminal record Stories Up High (2022), produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Langhorne Slim) of the famed Bomb Shelter in East Nashville. With a history of opening for bands like The Heartless Bastards, Kurt Vile, and Mirador, Laney Jones and the Spirits continue to cut their teeth on mics literally and metaphorically across the US. Quickly building momentum, the crew’s live, raw energy and heart-on-their-sleeves mentality is something that you just gotta witness for yourself.
