BIOGRAPHY

Born Ted W Jones, 1960 in Jamestown, NY...been around the block a time or two since then. Many influences along the way...some stick close while others don't.

Band scene...been there done that...some good some bad.

I consider myself a non-performing songwriter. I no longer play out on any regular basis. Written many songs through the years and recorded them in some form or fashion but never on a professional level.

It would be such a rush to have another person perform and/or record one of my songs. Of course it would be an even bigger rush to have one of my songs hit the charts.

I would like to connect to other songwriters that would give an honest critique of my songs. I would also like to connect to industry pro’s that would be willing to listen to my songs.

I find it hard to pin point a specific genre that is fitting. Some of my songs sound Country while others fit Rock. Some songs fit the Blues genre while others may fit Pop. I guess it all depends on the song and/or the inspiration while writing the song.

Robbie Robertson

As a member of The Band, Robbie Robertson changed the course or rock music history, hipping the genre to a more old-timey sound with songs like “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” His latest solo album, How To Become Clairvoyant, reflects on his rock and roll past.
