Durand Jones

Durand Jones has been the frontman for Durand Jones & the Indications for years, but is now embarking on a solo project where he shows his deepest and truest self. The group have been making vintage soul cool again since the mid-2010s. But after several years, three albums and international tours, frontman Durand Jones felt the need to step out on his own. From the south, Jones grew up attending church and signing in choirs. He moved to Bloomington to study classical saxophone at Indiana University. There, he met his bandmates and formed Durand Jones & the Indications.

His latest album release, Wait Til I Get Over is the rawest look at Durand Jones yet. For the album’s visuals, he returned to Hillaryville with new eyes. His brother, Damon, is now raising his kids in their grandmother’s house. The elder Jones posed for photos in front of their dad’s trailer. After surviving countless hurricanes, the trailer burned down shortly after that last visit. Jones sees it as a symbol that there are brighter days ahead. But he’s proud, now, to show the world where he comes from.
