Kelly Jones is a singer and songwriter whose music is a charming blend of pop sweetness, folkie lilt, and country twang. After spending time in New York City and Nashville, Jones settled in Los Angeles, and self-released her debut EP, Brave Heartache, in 2004. An independent album, Handle with Care, followed in 2006. After writing a batch of songs with power pop obsessive Mike Viola, Jones released her significantly poppier third effort, 2008's Shebang!. In 2013, Jones released the graceful and introspective Alta Loma. She had struck up a friendship with singer and songwriter Teddy Thompson after they performed a George Jones song together during a club show in 2011. Jones and Thompson soon began collaborating and in 2016, they released an album, Little Windows. ~ Mark Deming
