Music is a catalyst of enhancing mood and when it comes to chill, laid-back nights, no one seems to enhance the mood better than L.A.’s 23-year old Jasper Bones with his trademark “Chicano wavy-soul.” The artist’s debut six-song EP, Cruise Control (2018) highlights his romanticized lyrics and musicality to create an atmosphere of relatable longing. He’s already caught the ears of Los Angeles Times music critic Randall Roberts who appointed him as “one of a number of Southern California gentleman romancers,” adding: “Bones is devoted to love songs and isn’t afraid to show his vulnerability.” Kevin Bronson of Buzzbands.LA has also taken notice of the “open-hearted aesthetic” that Bones creates.“I take pride in my lyricism and songwriting and appreciate how much I’ve learned in production work over the last year,” says Bones. “It makes me unbelievably happy to know that others can relate to my lyrics or background which then unites all of us as a community. I’m extremely grateful for anyone that has taken the time to see me live or even just listened to one of my songs online,: says Bones who has worn the hats of writer, performer and producer since he dropped his first single in 2017.A standout element that adds to the unique style of Jasper Bones is his lead guitar playing that he offers up sparingly, with ninja-like accuracy. “I absolutely love blues and jazz guitar,” says Jasper. “Most of the riffs or solos I come up with are based around jazz and blues scales. Growing up I really looked up to Jimi Hendrix’s ability and even taught myself to play behind my back because of him. Once again it also goes back to soul music and Motown in the way I try to tap into emotion and release it through my guitar playing.”While Cruise Control tapped in to his inspiration pulled from R&B and soul music and weaved together new modern takes on the genres, Japer Bones' cites a lot of “I would say I mainly have pulled vocal inspiration from classic soul singers like Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Amy Winehouse,” affirms Bones. “I love how raw their voices sound. You can almost feel the pain behind the lyrics by just listening to the voices themselves.”Following the release of Cruise Control in 2018, Jasper Bones was able to hit the road with the Marías, Cuco, Hot Flash Heat Wave, Miniature Tigers, and more, eventually building up towards headlining his own Southwest tour at the top of 2020. Now wrapping up a follow-up EP to Cruise Control, Jasper shares, “I hope people can tell I’ve been really taking my time on it. I’ve grown and changed a lot, personally and musically, over the last few years and I’m really excited to share new music again soon.-----------------------------------------In accordance with the <a href="http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/docs/HOO/HOO_SaferReturnWorkCommunity.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LA County Health Officer Order</a>, patrons will be required to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19.
