About Me

PRESS
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
"Anyone who has heard the music of Brinton Jones will agree that his songs are literature of the heart. Like a book bound by melody, harmony, and honesty, they unfold before you. Paragraphs become verses and chapters become choruses, leaving room for interpretation & relation. Brinton is an author as much as he is a songwriter. After you’ve heard his music and shut the book, you feel close to something that, before, felt so far away. You long to hear it again." Square Magazine
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
[Brinton Jones] is an excellent example of fresh new talent. Grand Rapids Press
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
"Like Paraders is a brooding, romantic work of slightly twangy, slightly poppy rock & roll." City Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
Listening to lead singer Brinton Jones' voice for the first time, you get those flutters that crawled under your skin the first time you heard Chris Martin breathe into a microphone. These songs are charmed, this band is unstoppable." Hatcherpassrecords.com
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
The first time I heard Brinton play was at Humpy's [Anchorage, AK]...and I was blown away. He took the stage, played a couple chords, sang two notes, and completely silenced the crowd. He took charge of the room and by the end of his first song I seriously had butterflies. He is a killer lyricist, and also writes those melodies that get stuck in your head for days and days. AK This Month
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
"There isn't a week that goes by that I don't get asked when Palomino is playing next, probably because they put on one of the best live concerts of any local band and Brinton Jones is hands down the most passionate front man in the scene!" Corey Fox, Velour Live Music Gallery owner/manager
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
"Filled with passion and a sincerity that breaks your heart, all musical tastes and opinions aside, you will fall in love with [this band] and I encourage you to become a part of their family." - NowOnTour.com
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------

Sounds Like: "I am going to sing for you, a little off key perhaps, but I will sing. I will sing while you croak, I will dance over your dirty corpse....
To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs, and a little knowledge of music. It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is to want to sing. This then is a song. I am singing."
