About Jony James Band:

Jony James is overflowing with soul. It drips down from his hands onto his guitar, in lyrically urgent bends and intense ethereal assaults. It pours out through his weathered, leathery voice, telling vivid, open-minded tales of a tumultuous life. His jovial, yet pensive nature is evident in both his music and stage presence.

Born in Buffalo, New York, Jony was raised in Chicago, which was full of Blues, Motown and Soul influences. B.B. King, Albert King, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Jimi Hendrix, were among those influences and are evident in his playing.

By the age of 17, Jony was playing Blues Clubs on the south side of Chicago, with local Blues legends such as Eddie Taylor, Willie Williams and J B Hutto, among others. After touring with Hutto and chasing Hendrix to Europe, Jony settled in Canada, playing with the Native American “Roadhouse Band from Six Nations” and finally the Matt Minglewood Band from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

In the 90’s, Jony returned to Buffalo and began playing and writing his own material. After independently producing and releasing three albums of original music, Blue Wave Records signed Jony and released “In This World” to international acclaim.

The second Blue Wave release titled, “What About Tomorrow”, is currently available and has got some heavyweights in the Blues Industry very excited. To experience original “Survival Blues”, you must listen to the Jony James Blues Band.

Join us for the Opening Reception for “ALIO MODO” DAVID BRINLEY solo exhibit of new artwork at Revolution Gallery, Friday, June 29th – from 6:00 to 10:00pm

David M. Brinley is an award winning artist and illustrator sought out by leading publications such as TIME magazine, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, Newsweek (US and International), Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, GQ (US and London), SPIN, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles and New York Times magazines. David’s work has been published for conceptual covers, portraits, editorial spreads and spot illustrations for most major publications in the US and abroad.

“I seek to create work with authenticity that metaphorically illustrates an acute view of cultural, social, ethical, economic and political issues. My personal images are derived from a rich archive of cultural and personal references – mixing history and metaphors that form and reveal a narrative that utilize icons and symbols. Automatic drawing, vintage ephemera, and childhood memories influence these personal images that are designed to uncover and expose an abstract and at times unsettling intersection of past youth experiences and adulthood – for viewers to relate to their own inspirations, to appreciate, and then share.”

Outside the gallery during the opening, the Small Smalls will be performing their LO/FI dreamy pop.
