In his first recorded EP in over six years, Andy John Jones has aimed to capture the emotions and experiences of the 21st Century. Taking inspiration from the work of John Martyn, Jeff Buckley, Paolo Nutini and Nick Drake, poets such as Charles Bukowski and Dylan Thomas (who has ties with Andy’s own Welsh heritage via his friendship to Andy’s Great-Uncle the painter Alfred Janes), the piece seeks to experiment musically with genre, poetically with literary devices and emotionally, mentally with subject matter and narrative. It is a taste of the potential of this up and coming artist honing his craft upon the street corners of the capital city.
