WHAT IS A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF JOHN-PAUL JONES GROUP LOOK LIKE? - PART II

Image
So maybe you are wondering how does John-Paul Jones Group operate? What are all the parts of the enterprise? Well to start if off let's get the name out of the way.  The name is unique in that it's not a stage name. It is a family name. Prof. Jp's grandparents Marjorie and Robert Jones names his father John-Paul Jones after her brother John and his brother Paul.  Naming sins and daughters after relatives is a long family tradition in his Black Iowegian Culture.  Naturally Prof. Jp is named after his father and his oldest son is named after him.  So John-Paul Jones Group is an extension of that legacy and very personal. So who are the people who make up the group?  We without these folks things cannot happen. First it's the production crew we had a few over the years but here were a few that helped us out and continue to help the band out.  They are truly "part of the group".   Without these folks  Jazon - Crew Chief & Videographer Scott - Stage & Backl

WHAT IS A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF JOHN-PAUL JONES GROUP LOOK LIKE? - PART I

Image
https://www.radiokeokuk.com/localtop20 So a few folks have wondered, "Why has John-Paul Jones Group played less frequently over the past 25 years than other groups we see?" The answer to that question has many parts. But is comes down to work:life balance. In his own words... "As most know I started the band Jp's Eternia in 1995. Robert Lloyd Davis original bass player in both Jp's Eternia in which I never really wanted the lead singer roll. The group went through a lot of players, which is the nature of his endeavor we call music business. I was trying to create a professional environment and a real music business with no money, no real professional resources and my strong ability research and learn. Also I had a lot of personal things happening, partners, friends and family members with addiction issues. To say I was stretched thin by this time... Is an understatement. In 2000 a greater power than me put me on halt to stop and see what was going on in my life.

UPDATE FROM COPPERTOP STUDIO HUT April 29th, 2022 - April 30th 2022 We just wanted to share some photos from the studio.  Jp does everything in his power to make sure performing with him is an endeavour that is efficient, fun, creative and economically sustainable.  If the studio or band needs something to complete the overall goal he will buy it,  if it's something that is economically in the works or is not available,  he will invent it, design it, adapt it, and/or build it. When Jp asked Tyler to join the band he immediately got to work building a rig for him. These two M-Audio ES-61 Midi controllers were the first order of business.  Jp already had the two Roland GR-33a guitar synth modules.  He added a couple of Behringer powered monitors… What we think is most innovative is his design of the setup itself.  Those of us who know and work with Jp his mind works a bit differently than well everyone else's…  we have more on the technical aspects of the rig.  But Jp has built t
