Award winning American singer-songwriter Diana Jones has been called the “Emily Dickinson of song” and “the female Johnny Cash” for her gritty, authentic, storytelling that has become her life’s work and the essence of her live shows. Adopted as an infant and raised in Long Island, NY, Jones found her birth family and musical roots in the Smoky Mountains of Eastern Tennessee when she reunited with her maternal grandfather, who had formed his first teenage band with a young Chet Atkins. Gradually Jones discovered an uncanny affinity for the Appalachian music of her ancestors and began claiming it as her own, as she discovered her true artistic calling. Due for release in September, her 6th solo recording, Song To A Refugee, gives voice to the stories of asylum seekers world-wide: “The work has everything to do with my own need to connect with others around this important issue. I think we all want to get involved and give each other hope.”
