The Jones Family Fortune

Firing on all cylindars, FINALLY!!!!!!

About Me

The Jones Family Fortune is Ian Jones (guitar/piano/vocals), Scott Martin (drums/vocals), Jason Gover (bass) and Ron Stoehr (Lead Guitar).
Based out of Seattle, the band started hanging out during the end of 2005 and formally named themselves about March 2006. With their first album complete, they've started the second album which should be done by winter of 2008.
Ian, Scott, Jason and Ron have all played with other bands, toured extensivly and with The Jones Family Fortune, hope to get back up to speed and back out on the road. They met, ironically, by answering an add in a local paper, somethng none of them had ever done before.

The music is melodic vocal based Indie rock with hints of Pop and Americana
............Places We've Played..............The Tractor Tavern, Jules Maes, The Sunset Tavern, Jazzbones, The Skylark Cafe, The Highdive, The Cafe Venus/Mars Bar, Bite of Seattle, Taste of Tacoma, and The Glass Roots Art Festival!!
