About

Durand Jones recently delivered a mesmerizing performance at the Tiny Desk, showcasing his powerful vocals and soulful music. Backed by talented gospel singers, Durand Jones sang tracks from his solo release "Wait Til I Get Over," including the title track that received emotional praise from NPR. The band, Durand Jones & The Indications, was founded by Jones, Aaron Frazer, and Blake Rhein in 2012 as part of the soul revivalist movement. Their music gained popularity with the reissue of their debut album in 2018, followed by albums like "American Love Call" and "Private Space."

The band's journey began at Indiana University where Jones, Frazer, and Rhein formed a musical bond over their love for old soul music. After debuting their first album in 2016, they received support from critics and the lowrider community, which helped propel their music into the spotlight. The band's evolving sound was evident in their 2021 release, "Private Space," which showcased a blend of disco and modern soul influences.

Jones' solo album, "Wait Til I Get Over," released in May 2023, delves into the history of his hometown in Louisiana. The Tiny Desk concert highlighted Durand Jones' unwavering passion, resilience, and ability to find hope in challenging times, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
