JW Jones
8:00 PM
JW Jones has one of the most energetic and exciting live shows on the scene. It is no surprise that he has played throughout the world (four continents, 17 countries!) and some of the biggest names in blues today, including The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Little Charlie & The Nightcats and the legendary Hubert Sumlin have invited him to join them on stage. During a special appearance with the band, Hollywood celebrity and fan Dan Aykroyd said, "this is an amazing blues band, and I've played with the best!"What led to JW appearing on the Stockey Stage? Last October JW played here as part of the CONTACT conference. We were suddenly slammed with people who saw that mini-concert demanding that we bring him here for a full show. We were only too happy to oblige.
So, here by popular demand: JW Jones! Be here to help bring the house down.

"One of this country's top blues guitar stars" writes the Globe and Mail about 29-year old, JW-Jones.
JW-Jones has one of the most energetic and exciting live shows on the scene. It is no surprise that he has played throughout the world (CANADA, USA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, BRAZIL) and some of the biggest names in blues today, including The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Little Charlie & The Nightcats, Rod Piazza, Anson Funderburgh with Sam Myers, The Mannish Boys and the legendary Hubert Sumlin have invited him to join them on stage.
During a special appearance with the band, Hollywood celebrity and fan, Dan Aykroyd said, "this is an amazing blues band, and I've played with the best!" Mr. Aykroyd wrote the liner notes for the 2008 release ‘Bluelisted’.
The new record "Midnight Memphis Sun" features special guest stars Hubert Sumlin and Charlie Musselwhite, while past CDs have had world-class musicians David ‘Fathead’ Newman (Ray Charles sax player), Little Charlie Baty, Junior Watson, Colin James, and multi-Grammy nominee Kim Wilson who appears on two discs and produced ‘My Kind of Evil’ in 2004.
Their music has garnered radio-play worldwide, including heavy rotation on commercial radio stations, and features on shows such as the internationally syndicated House of Blues Radio Hour.
In 2009, Guitar World Magazine featured a CD called ‘Guitar Masters Vol. 2’ that put Jones alongside guitar stars B.B. King, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana and more.
The buzz this band has created over the last decade has earned them a national award - the Maple Blues Award for Electric Act of the Year, and rave reviews throughout the globe. Jones endorses Gibson guitars, has been featured in Blues Revue Magazine and can be found in the books All Music Guide to Blues and Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings.
Musicians that tour with Jones, Jeff Asselin (drums) and the heavy grooves of Jesse Whiteley (organ) always add a powerful energy to the stage.
Canada's Top Touring Blues Act, Jones and his band are born entertainers, and with their unique sound, they continue to set the world on fire one country at a time!
And a few notable quotes from those that know:
"JW's got it down! So much soul, and nice material. You can't beat it. I am telling the truth."
- Hubert Sumlin, legendary bluesman
"This is an amazing blues band"
- Dan Aykroyd (Elwood Blues)
"One of this country's top blues guitar stars"
