Caroline Jones is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer & radio show host. She coproduced
her forthcoming country album with Grammy and Academy Award-winning producer Ric
Wake (Trisha Yearwood, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston ). The lead single, “Tough
Guys” is a tongue-in-cheek country stomper that speaks to personal empowerment. The single is
off to a fast start – SiriusXM radio’s “The Highway” channel is already playing the song.
Ms. Jones, raised in Connecticut and currently living in Florida, fell in love with country music at
16, when she first visited Nashville & attended a writer’s round at the Bluebird Cafe. Enthralled
with Music City’s community of singers, songwriters and musicians, Caroline researched the rich
history of country music, modeling her songwriting after Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton,
Emmylou Harris, and Vince Gill. Caroline states “I most admire these artists because they are
great songwriters and musicians as well as vocalists”. Of late she has been inspired by
contemporary artists Hunter Hayes, Keith Urban & the Zac Brown Band.
Listening to those artists motivated Caroline to follow their lead and become a first class musician
in her own right: she wrote all the songs and played all of the instruments (guitar, banjo,
harmonica, keyboards, and lap steel) on the record with the exception of bass and drums, played
by Nashville studio veterans Glenn Worf and Nir Z.
Caroline’s Sirius XM radio show “Art & Soul” airs bi-monthly on The Coffee House channel and
delves inside the art of songwriting to the “soul of the song” with guest singer/songwriters
including Butch Walker, Regina Spektor, James Bay & Steve Cropper.
Ms. Jones has toured hundreds of schools & universities nationwide in the past 5 years, including
Andover, Exeter, Choate, Hotchkiss, Taft & the University of Virginia. She founded “The Heart is
Smart” Initiative & School Tour, inspiring and providing a medium of expression through music with
her performances and workshops that have touched over 150,000 students to date. She also
partnered with motivational speaker Stedman Graham and The Sonima Foundation to bring “The
Heart is Smart” program to over 100 public schools and underserved communities on the Live
Sonima Tour.
Caroline has performed at Julliard, Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall, with residencies at Café
Carlyle & Feinstein’s. She has shared bills with a wide range of artists including James Taylor, The
Beach Boys, Dave Matthews, Paul Simon, O.A.R, Ani DiFranco, Ziggy Marley & The Wailers, Grace
Potter & Patti Smith.
Plans are now in the works to release a full-length album in the first quarter of 2017, with a
nationwide tour to follow.
