The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 7/8 – Billy Jones / June Star
July 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Event Navigation
Billy Jones has been making his way across the Carolinas with a six-string guitar and a suitcase full of well-crafted tunes for the last two decades. Whether he’s performing solo or in his dynamite trio (The Pocket) or his other low country bluegrass trio (Broken Arrows) , Jones always delivers with danceable rhythms and an intimate delivery that makes every venue a living room. Jones pens songs that reflect the deep musical roots of his native Carolina Piedmont. His ears are tuned to a broader, global wavelength. Equal parts folk and rhythm and blues; his songs paint streetscapes of downtown Americana and offer reflections of a journey well traveled.
June Star was formed in 1998 by singer/songwriter Andrew Grimm. Since then, they have put out 16 records, toured a good bit of the U.S., and have gone into debt. There have been many members of June Star; the current line up is: Andrew Grimm, Dave Hadley, and Mike Kuhl.
