When
local Austin, TX native Tameca Jones opens her mouth and sings, jaws
hit ground. Her honeyed and powerful vocals have been captivating her
hometown for a little over ten years. Tameca made a name for herself as
the “Queen of Austin Soul,” blowing minds with her tasteful and vibrant
interpretations of a diverse list of artists that include Tina Turner,
Nirvana, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, and more. The Austin Chronicle called
her interpretations “sonic pretzels” that “juxtapose(s) crunchy
jaggedness with her infectious, honeyed voice.” Her WTF ability to go
from soulful wailing to silky coos has won her devoted fans, accolades,
and some high profile situations opening for Austin super stars Gary
Clark Jr., Max Frost, Bob Schneider and other big touring acts. She
received major love from Billboard Magazine for her white hot
performance at the 2015 Austin Music Awards, where she paid tribute to
late beloved musician Ian McLagan alongside legends like Steven Van
Zandt, Charlie Sexton, Alejandro Escovedo, and Patty Griffin. Billboard
said she “raised the roof,” while The Austin Chronicle called her
performance “showstopping.” Guitar deity and fellow Austinite Gary Clark
Jr., who faithfully attended Tameca’s shows whenever he was in town,
asked her to sing on the song “Wings” for his latest album, The Story of
Sonny Boy Slim. Rolling Stone called the song a “slinky duet,” while
Andy Langer for Esquire Magazine called the song one of the best songs
in the month of September and noted that “the tweaky processing of
Austin soul starlet Tameca Jones’ voice adds an early-Parliament-like
trippiness.” Tameca Jones is set to release her highly anticipated debut
EP in spring 2019. There is little doubt that she will soon be the next
big name to break out of Texas.
