Laurence Jones

Laurence Jones is an award winning and critically acclaimed blues rock artist form Liverpool. He has supported the likes of Sir Ringo Starr, Van Morrison, the late Jeff Beck & Johnny Winter & was recently the support act for Status Quo on their farewell summer tour in 2024! “He’s like a young Eric Clapton” - Buddy Guy

This year will also see the debut release of his own record label RON RECORDS in loving memory of his Grandad Ronald Redcliffe. Laurence says “I’ve been lucky enough to be signed to major record labels from the age of 18, I’ve been on an incredible journey which I’m very grateful for and learnt a lot in the studio, I’ve signed 4 record & 5 publishing contracts over my 15 year career. I wanted to finally own the music I make and give back something special to my fans. The hardest things in life are the simplest things, and I really hope this album comes across authentic, real, and tells a story about my journey with my Crohn’s disease, life on the road and love! It’s one of my proudest moments to be able to release this whole project under my own record label, work close with the venues and have a small team around me that I trust. I’ve found it very hard with my Crohn’s to be on the road with long journeys and the constant toll the band takes physically on my body. I want the show to have an intimate feeling but at the same time I’m always ready to blues rock it, this time a bit more traditional”

Going back to his roots, Jones will be embarking on a very special debut solo album tour. Laurence says ‘I’ve waited 15 years to bring it back home to the blues music and pay homage to the music I love. I feel these are some of the best songs I’ve written, you can’t hide behind just one guitar and a vocal. I’m excited to push my musical boundaries as I first started on the classical guitar when I was just 8 years old. I’ve always wanted to get back up on the stage on my own and combine my experience of the blues with my classical guitar training.
