John Edge Jones is a Texas-born, Australia-based alternative country rock artist whose music blends grit, soul, and Southern storytelling. With six-string swagger and outlaw fire, he delivers songs that punch like cheap whiskey and linger like Southern heat - honest, vulnerable, and full of fight.

His debut album pulls threads from gospel halls, honky-tonks, punk shows, and the quiet hum of family life. Tracks like Texas Wild, Shotgun, Cheap Whiskey, and Holy Roller channel the swagger of bar fights, the ache of moonlit longing, and the resilience of the working class. From boot-stomping blues-country party anthems to slow-burning reflections, John's sound is both familiar and fiercely his own.

Named after his grandfather, a larger-than-life figure born on the same day, John weaves real family stories into songs. Some tracks are inspired directly by cassette tape recordings of his grandfather recalling life 12 miles deep in the woods during the Great Depression. It’s a project born of legacy, faith, and raw determination.

John’s lyrics speak for the underdog - the broke, the bruised, the burning-hearted. Whether he’s calling out the landlord in Green Apple Quickstep or wrestling with shame in Broken Gratitude, he brings truth with a twang and a voice full of lived experience.

After nearly walking away from music in 2023, John found himself recording music in a remote forest cabin in Dwellingup a year later. It wasn’t just about making music - it was about bringing together pieces of his life that had been scattered across years and places. For this project, he drew deeply from experiences growing up in Texas, the influence of small towns in Mississippi and Alabama and honoring moments that shaped him into the person he is today. John Edge Jones is alternative country rock with a rebel heart - music that remembers where it came from and isn’t afraid to tell you where it’s going.

“Each note, each lyric, is a tribute to the people, places, and memories that helped me find my way back to music. And now, I’m sharing that journey with you, hoping that these songs can speak to you the way they’ve helped me make sense of my own life.” – John Edge Jones
