HELLO EVERYONE! BROKE IN BRIDGE CITY ALBUM IS DONE! Its been a productive six months of pandemic precautions, writing, recording, mixing & mastering. and we are happy to say that the album is completed and is being manufactured.    We at the John-Paul Jones Group would like to thank Chris @ Barber Drum Studio, Sheffield, UK for recording the killer drum tracks on the album.  Jp may of composed them, but Chris brought Jp's vision of killer 60's sonnding live drum tracks to life. Secondly we hae to give a big THANK YOU Angeliki Mourgela of Athens Greece at Mourgella Mixing Studios  for taking the time out of her busy schedule to mix the record.  When you hear these tracks you are going to see what a great team these three made on this project. Next we want to thank the team at LANDR.COM who worked with Jp during the mastering phase of the record.   Jp worked within his own mastering studio and with LANDR to come up with an authentic sounding record....

UPDATE 11/13/2020: Many of us have been in a  music appreciation course.  However, we know that Jp has appreciated music for longer than he could speak, write or walk (according to his family).  Using conventional research, we came up with these definitions of music genre.   We previously had an interesting conversation with a journalist/editor about music and what is and isnt a particular form of music and who should or shouldnt be included in a particular sub-culture of American Society. If you read this post we at the John-Paul Jones Group thank you.  We copied all of these definitions from readily available  sources of informaton on the internet.   When reading...ask yourself.... what is the common cultural denominator in all of these genres of music? And who should be developing the definition?   Creators, Listeners or the Gatekeepers?   Because when it comes to music... it seems like the gatekeepers (media, promoters...

Hello Everyone!! Here is a very cool "Jp" story we just had to share with you: Photo Credit: ESPN.COM - ABC11.COM So as we all know the great Edward Van Halen passed away... Shortly afterwards guitarists world wide took to all manner of social media to pay tribute. Well we here at the John-Paul Jones Group and associated companies know that Eddie was a huge influence on Jp. But it seems Eddie's influence is everywhere including on a 14 year old guitarist from Southeast Iowa named Jacob Schrader... Jacob's mother Sarah posted a facebook video of him playing tribute to Eddie Van Halen..  Jp's friend Ashley Junis tagged him in the video.  Here is a screenshot of Jacob playing. So Jp being the guy that he is contacted Sarah even though he was a stranger.        He absolutely wanted to meet Jacob and invite them both to CopperTop Studio hut to talk guitars and let Jacob see where he records music.  Below are some photos of the boys as they came and vi...

Many of you may or may not know that Jp has had a concurrent career in the electrical energy industry.  A couple weeks ago he was honored via a nomination by his community member(s) for recognition by Connecticut Electric Manufactures HEROs (Celebrating Electricians) awards program.

Again dont forget pre-order for the CD is open right now at a reduced price:  https://www.johnpauljonesgroup.com/music.html Jp is very humbled by this recognition.  Also this week Jp was able to visit with his "Big Cousin" Ernie Peniston... who is a Blues & Music Hall of Famer... he also has played with BOTH Prince AND Morris Day... Ernie met Jp at CopperTop Studio Hut to share with Jp his new tracks on his upcoming CD.  And let us tell you... the tracks are slamming and when its re...
