Justin Jones & The Driving Rain

About Me

Justin Jones is from a small place in the western Shenandoah Valley called Rawley Springs. He grew up in the oak and yellow poplar forests, swimming holes and lakes, and battlefieds and burial grounds of that land. His Mother taught him to never give up, his grandmother taught him to never give in, and his friends taught him to never forget. He's had many struggles, like all do, and he's chosen to write songs about them. He moved to Washington, DC, linked up with the talented and ever intelligent Andrew Nelson and Adam Dawson, and together they have been delivering songs of inspiration to all who would listen. You will listen....
