A lifelong daydreamer, Colette Jones grew up enveloped in songs and stories. Her musical journey has taken her from playing power chords in a punk band to Travis Picking folk songs and singing old country ballads. She found her footing in Americana music, through which she could combine her interests in storytelling and performance. Since then she's had the pleasure of collaborating with many wonderful musicians on a variety of projects, as well as foraying into the world of musical theater.

During a transformative tenure in Nashville, Colette polished up her catalog of original songs, and with the help of some of Music City's finest, etched them into two full-length studio albums. Her debut, Deluge, intertwines classic country and Americana sounds, while infused with an ethereal and bluegrass drive. The tracks unfold as tales of love and loss, addiction, heartache, and an overarching theme of “searching for a way home,” as Colette sings in the opening lines of the first track, "Unfound." The album skillfully walks the line between blues-rock on tracks like "Secret Life," and a rebellious “outlaw country” spirit as showcased on tracks such as "Fever Dream" and "Train Song." The follow up, TBA, builds on these themes, with honky-tonk and cosmic country influences. The first track, “How’s That Workin’ For Ya Now” is available to stream on Bandcamp.

Colette is a passionate conduit of roots music, Americana, classic country, and all that in between. She has studied ethnomusicology and folklife both academically and as a hobbyist, and through her research and love of this music, strives to bring authenticity and honesty to the stories she sings, honoring the diverse ancestors and history of country music as it is brought into a new era.
