Lead Guitar, Vocals
Brent Warford, Lead Guitar, Vocals

Almost
all of these guys played a multitude of instruments, and 5 of the
6 are credited with original songs that were played on stage. Many
times, one or two of us would record something on the 4 track, overdubbing,
then the band would learn it.
 Based
in Des Moines, Iowa, then moving to Omaha, Nebraska, Jonesin traveled
8 Midwestern States and Canada. We had a dedicated following, and
appreciate all the support of all the fans over the years.
Jonesin'
backed up many top recording artists in it's day. Most notably; Santana,
the Marshall Tucker band, U2, Sea Level, Elvin Bishop, Commander
Cody, Walter Egan, Marc Jordan, Head East, Savoy Brown, Nantucket,
and others.
