About Me

Love Jones has performed at The Fox & Hounds, Daedoardo Foxtown Grille, Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tiger events, Loving Spoonful, for the Ilitch family, Robusto's in Grosse Pointe, They Say Restaurant, Oakland University, The Optimist Club, The Michigan Veterans Foundation, The Phoenix Foundation Firefighter banquets, The New Rhino, Campus Martius, The Detroit and Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, Fishbones, Carl's Chop House, The Legal Aid & Defender Association, The City of Detroit Engineers gala, The Henry Ford Museum, and The North American International Auto Show. The talent of this quartet is a musical force to be reckoned with, from the full sound, to the smooth harmonies, to the unending versatility. Love Jones has a repertoire that will peak interest from various age groups and many genres of music. ================================================ Vocalist Terry Thomas has been wooing and romancing audiences with his strong, smoky and soulful sound since he was a young boy growing up in Detroit, Michigan. He has since formed his own dynamic vocal style with influences from great vocalists like Donnie Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, and Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire. These artists have paved the way for Terry, inspiring him to reach musical heights and to establish a career path to follow on his musical journey. He has sung of love at many weddings and funerals. He has done commercial jingles and worked with many industry professionals in many musical capacities including Mario Winans, Michael Powell, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Daryl Coley, Ronnie Laws, Howard Hewitt, David Hollister, Althea Rene', Con Funk Shun and many others. Terry also toured the country with the gospel musical, "Only The Strong", as the voice of the inspirational character "Pastor Jackson." Terrys solo album is entitled The Terry Thomas Experiment which is a smooth collection of R&B laced neo soul.==================================================Keybo ardist K.V.Fowler co-founded "Bel-Aire" & "Something Else", a "Rock / Pop" and a "R&B / Jazz" band respectively. Both groups performed in and around the Detroit area as opening acts (most notably for Smokey Robinson at Hart Plaza), headlining acts (Flood's, T.J.'s Lounge), and backing other artists shows. K. V. is also the music and co-choir director with the Fowler Family Fellowship Choir. K.V. has also performed as a sideman with saxophonist Dwayne Parham, and with the R&B band "The Swang". While interning at Vanguard Recording Studio (owned by former Anita Baker producer Michael Powell) in Oak Park, MI., K.V. earned two assistant engineer credits on Aretha Franklin's "A Rose Is Still A Rose" C.D. with producer Narada Michael Walden. K.V. also graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachussetts. ==================================================Vocalist Angie McLaurin founded and fronted her own group called the Rhythm Method which played many important and high profile events though out the Detroit Metropolitan area. Her silky smooth sultry voice is the heart and soul of Love Jones and she is currently working on her first release on jazz and classic contemporary music and has opened a performance for Dwele'. Her influences include Alicia Keys, Maysa, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, and many other diverse artists and musicians. Angie is a talented songwriter and poet and enjoys performing live and has an alluring and captive stage presence that is well worth waiting for.================================================== Andre' Dale is a supremely gifted guitarist/vocalist/writer who has been an integral part of the Detroit Music Scene since the late 80's playing and touring with reggae/rock groups Onxyz, Bel-Aire & Something Else, who opened for Smokey Robinson, Mitch Ryder, Jerry Lee Lewis, and played private parties for "227" star, Marla Gibbs, as well as winning the Stars of Tomorow talent show at The Michigan State Fair with Bel-Aire/Something Else. Andre also plays guitar on an ongoing basis at New Bethel Baptist Church, and lent his guitar skills on a single called "I adore you" on a soon to be released Aretha Franklin album. Andre has also released his own jazz album entitled "A First" which is a collection of popular songs presented in a smooth jazz guitar style as well as a holiday CD. Andre' was also a vocalist in the choir that backed Aaron Neville, Aretha Franklin, and Dr. John on the National Anthem at the 2006 NFL Superbowl at Ford Field.
