On the Radar
Rising Atlanta Space Rock Outfit
Copious Jones is an original rock band from Atlanta, Ga, consisting of 3 friends from music school who joined creative forces with 2 respected veterans from the local jazz/Latin scene. This incredible group balances a wide-variety of styles with melodic and meaningful lyrics to create a unique and ever-evolving musical experience. In June 2013, just 3 years after forming, Copious Jones signed with Kevon Glickman and international industry powerhouse, Blingnot Media. This partnership has already secured the band a spot in the 10th Annual Mountain Jam Festival, as well as the 8th Annual Bear Creek Music Festival, and opened the doors to a whole new realm of possibilities which Copious Jones is exploring with their sights set high.
Audience members of all generations and walks of life can be found in the mix of fans at a Copious Jones show. Since the band’s inception in 2010, these guys have quickly gone from being unrecognized on the local dive-bar scene to playing regularly in some of Atlanta’s most reputable venues and headlining local and regional festivals. They’ve also begun making appearances at national festivals and look forward to playing New York’s, Mountain Jam this coming June, as well as Florida’s, Bear Creek, in November.
Every passing day adds a little more to the amazing story of these talented musicians. Though still a relatively young band, they have decades of combined musical experience and have already attracted attention from many notable figures in the music industry such as: Chuck Leavell (The Allman Brothers, The Rolling Stones), Rob Barraco (Phil Lesh & Friends, Dark Star Orchestra) and Paul Diaz, owner of Tree Sound Studios (Elton John, Dave Matthews, Collective Soul).
2014 will find Copious Jones either in the studio creating music, or on the road solidifying and expanding their very-rapidly growing fan-base. Truly an experience, this band embodies the spirit so-often forgotten in popular music these days.
