Blues Rock Guitarist Dennis Jones Ignites the Stage with Blistering Blues Rock — New Album 'About Time' Makes Waves

Get Ready to Crank It Up — Blues You Can Rock To

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, July 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Blues Rock has a new name, Dennis Jones! One of America’s hottest blues rock powerhouses, Dennis Jones uses down-home blues soul with scorching guitar-driven rock, creating a sound that's as raw as it is electrifying. After years of lighting up the stage in support of legends like Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, George Thorogood, and Tinsley Ellis, … he is now the headliner.

With searing guitar solos, smooth yet gritty vocals, and a stage presence that radiates pure energy, Dennis Jones delivers a live experience that’s impossible to forget. Backed by a rhythm section that brings thunder and heavy groove in equal measure, this band doesn’t just play the blues — they rock it like no one else.

Jones’s sound bridges the past and present, channeling the roots of traditional blues through a contemporary lens. His songwriting speaks to both eras with a voice that’s authentic, soulful, and unmistakably his own. Dennis has penned songs for other renowned artists, including blues legend Guitar Shorty, further cementing his reputation as a force in modern blues rock.

"Dennis Jones is an absolute beast of a musician and songwriter and "Soft, Hard & Loud" will claim a space in your rotation after a single listen. Be cool and let it happen." Rock & Blues Muse Review - By Mike O’Cull

His latest album, “About Time,” released in June 2024 on his own label Blue Rock Records, is already making waves — nominated for Best Blues Rock Album at the 2025 Blues Music Awards in Memphis, TN. The hit single “Don’t Stop” spent an impressive 10 weeks in the Top 10 on B.B. King's Bluesville "Rack of Blues" and the album held strong in the Top 20 for four weeks.

Dennis Jones’s accolades include the Bobby Rush Blues Entertainer Award from the 2023 Just Blues Awards, recognizing his outstanding musicianship in Traditional Blues. He’s a former member of The Bus Boys ("The Boys Are Back in Town") and a part of the Zac Harmon Band when they won First Place at the 2004 Blues Music Awards Competition.

Since 2003, Dennis Jones has independently released eight acclaimed albums and a live DVD, each one earning glowing reviews and global radio airplay. With fans across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, he’s a true ambassador of American Blues Rock.

"Dennis Jones, he stands as one of the best contemporary Blues guitarists and continues to rewrite the history of the blues power-trio, staying very true to his guitar and his reputation as a composer..." - Blues of Columbia Review

Catch Dennis Jones live and see why critics and fans agree — this is not just Blues… this is Blues that Rocks!
