Eric Michael Jones is an Australian born singer-songwriter. Growing up in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada, and the United States gave Jones an ambivalent perspective. Musical influences stretch from the British invasion to proto-punk and alt-country, driven by off-center lyrics frequently tripping up the listener’s expectations.

Living in Michigan as a teen he was influenced by the Motor City music scene and loved to play fast, loud and heavy music. But as a lyricist Jones gravitates toward Paul Simon, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell; artists who know how to work with  universal themes by spinning allusions and avoiding clichés.
