Jones & Fischer

Let's face it: Mainstream country music is a huge machine that sticks very closely to its formula, which consists of artists who were developed through the efforts of committees and focus groups and who sing about the same things in the same way. Jones & Fischer is a country music duo based in the Pacific Northwest, and its members, Darin Jones and Caleb Fischer, also serve as the band's namesakes and front men. Jones & Fischer have managed to carve out their own piece of the pie by producing something that is truly unique in the country music genre, and they have won over thousands of fans all over the United States and Canada. The two have combined the various styles and influences that come from each of their respective hometowns, Seattle, Washington and San Antonio, Texas, and it has resulted in a blazing new sound that is all their own in a sea of uniformity, with wave after wave of overly processed, lyrically cliche', and substance-less songs that are currently emanating from the mainstream country genre. By pursuing a career in country music despite not residing in Nashville, being unsigned to a major label, and not being represented by a booking agency, Jones & Fischer are going against the proverbial "grain" of the industry. They are entirely self-sufficient and have built their fan base in the traditional manner of how a band ought to do it: by hitting the road and paying their dues one show at a time, playing the hell out of their own instruments, and singing the songs that they wrote themselves. In just a few short years, J & F have logged more than 100,000 miles on the road, performed in over 400 concerts, released a self-produced independent album with three award-winning music videos, been voted the #1 country band by NBC 'King 5's Best Of' for the last three years in a row, and have been hand picked to open up for artists such as Craig Morgan, Blackberry Smoke, Big N Rich, Trace Adkins, Parmalee, Kelsea Ball It's a cliché that's rarely put into practice, but if you want something badly enough and put in enough effort to get it, you will achieve the level of success you seek. This mantra is best exemplified by Jones and Fischer. There is a certain sincerity of sound that comes out of someone who is investing their life into their passion of music, with no back-up plan in the event that their passion for music should fail. When they have to be their own financier, driver, loader, and guitar tech on a daily basis... Jones and Fischer really have what it takes to do all of those things. It is audible in each and every performance; I invite you to come and listen for yourself.
