2011-2012 Season
Sean Jones
February 22, 2012
Pop/Americana
Genuinely Soulful
“Magnetic”, “Captivating” and “Genuinely soulful” are just a few of the accolades describing Sean Jones;
a performer whose international stock is on the rise. His interpretive performances of R&B and Soul classics have wooed fans
from across Canada and the US. This summer, Sean brings a whole new show to his audience with a focus on what he does best:
Love Songs.
Sean Jones has been singing love songs from his formative years in high school, where he joined R&B vocal group
“In Essence”, a five member vocal group renowned for their spectacular harmonies and effortless ability to connect in both
the R&B and Soul Music worlds. Legendary DJ/Producer FunkMaster Flex picked them up for management, and the song “You Will
Never Have Another” became a mix show radio hit throughout America. This success led to a multinational record label deal
with BMG Music.
In Essence’s first album garnered two hit singles and videos. The group won both R&B video of the Year at
Much Music, and R&B recording at the Juno Awards. But despite their success, Sean, an intensely focused performer, was
hearing something more in his heart and something deeper in his music, and within a year, In Essence disbanded.
Sean began
performing and recording as a solo artist in 2008. His popular EP, “This is Love,” led to his first national tour. Currently
he is working on his first full-length solo album which, like his show, chronicles the ebb and flow of relationships and will
take listeners on a musical journey through some of their favorite classic love songs.
