Drown your sorrows in a bottle of these boys. Let that smoke burn to the filter and turn up those floor speakers because Brokenheart Jones is about to knock you back with new music like the days of old. Beautiful melodies that relate sad stories, boasting vivid and heartfelt lyrics backed by the twang of guitars and a rollicking band; BhJ manages to draw from vintage greats and combine that with a current and relevant sound to create what can best be described as insurgent americana music.
Formed in late 2003 by Tim Greenwood and Adam Bilsing, Brokenheart Jones got right to work making a scene in the big and lonely Twin Cities of Minnesota. After working new tunes in every dive bar they could find, the band released its first full length record entitled 'Winded' in the early winter of 2004. 'Winded' proved to bring new hope to fans all over the Twin Cities, and was given great reviews in local publications.
'Sunday Best' was released to the delight of fans in March of 2006. With 11 original tracks that preach tales of love, loss, and worry, the group's second record is a testament to the power of roots music at its best. Front man Tim Greenwood writes BhJ's music in a way that moves the band to reflect the raw emotion felt by everybody attempting to get somewhere in our world today. Being influenced by artists such as The Band, Wilco, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young, 'Sunday Best' clearly represents the Jones' boys passion to tell an old story in a new and inspired way. The album has received critical acclaim and is being touted as a defining and necessary work in its rich genre.
Serving up a live show even more exciting and energetic than their recorded work, Brokenheart Jones commands the spotlight every time they take the stage. The band draws in crowds each night with a catalog as deep and diverse as that of bands 5 times their tenure. Their dynamic sound and stage presence captivates audiences of all ages, and exemplifies the lost idea that live rock and roll should be equal parts sermon, circus, confession, and romance.
BhJ has eyes for the future, setting their sights on another full length record and touring. With audiences waiting, the Jones' boys are ready to hit the road and prove themselves as a mainstay of americana music for years to come.
