From a logistics perspective it could not have been any smoother. JW called me to confirm the details and finalize the terms. The day of the event, the band arrived on time, immediately scoped out the space and picked the best spot to set up. Once they completed the set up, they broke to eat and then became all business. This band is the real deal.
I spent 13 years hanging at Manny's Carwash in the Upper East side of Manhattan and never experienced a band perform as well as this group from Ottawa. Consummate professionals, JW-Jones Band are true performers on stage who know their craft and love to play music in front of an audience. This was their first event in front of a physical audience since the pandemic, and their passion to play was only equalled only by their talent. Our guests begged them for a third set (encore) which they willingly obliged despite the late hour.
The Canada Day celebrations on our lake the next night were all buzzing about this band and how the contributed to the "best party ever." If you want a garden variety party, hire a DJ or another band. If you want your event to be legendary--then hire JW-Jones blues band. It's good for the soul.

There are two options: JW-Jones with his band, or his cover band HOROJO Trio...
JW's band typically performs a combination of their own material, traditional blues, blues rock, swing, and jazz. Their high energy show is always a hit with blues fans and they are available for shows ranging from intimate gatherings to theatres to corporate functions. More about them listed above!
HOROJO Trio plays a broad range of curated cover songs: Rock and Roots (Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Elvis), Country (Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams), Rhythm & Blues (James Brown, Stevie Wonder), and Soul (Ray Charles, Joe Cocker). They are a great fit for everything from house parties to weddings to corporate events. If you're looking for more popular/recognizable content played by extremely talented musicians, look no further. These guys are sure to be a memorable part of your event, and will have your guests smiling, singing along, or maybe even dancing if the mood strikes!
HOROJO Trio features drummer Jamie Holmes, singer/keyboardist Jeff Rogers, and guitarist/singer JW-Jones. Jeff is known as one of the hardest working artists in the nation's capital clocking over 250 shows per year. The Ottawa Citizen says “his voice practically bowls you over with intensity, as sweet, rich and gooey as molasses in a heatwave”, while Nick Krewen (Globe & Mail, Grammy.com, Billboard) calls JUNO nominee JW-Jones “a frequent resident of Billboard's Top 10 Blues charts and roots radio favourite”. Jamie is one of the most versatile drummers in the country and has toured throughout North-America and Europe and recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge. The trio came together organically from a chance jam session after a corporate event that was so inspired that it left the audience and the musicians wanting more. Even before their first gig, they had already been called an Ottawa “supergroup”.
