about
Within a year of formation of Back Pack Jones in 2012, this talented group of seasoned musicians had already turned heads on Beale Street and had festival crowds singing along to Back Pack Jones' first original song "Riptide Baby." It was clear that this Midwestern blues band was something special. The band went to work on their debut release, "Betsy's Kitchen," while continuing to actively support the growth of the blues through programs such as BLUES IN THE SCHOOLS. Gaining momentum by opening for blues great Jimmy Thackery while continuing to support the community, Back Pack Jones upped the ante through the addition of a full horn section, which brought this already high energy group to a full show band, delivering the blues to thousands during the 2013 festival season. An impression was clearly made, and Back Pack Jones was recruited to open for the legendary Mr. B.B. King in November 2013. Back Pack Jones' debut release, "Betsy's Kitchen" contains nine Back Pack Jones original tunes, delivering all 'shades of blues' to anticipating listeners. Blues is about life's challenges, trials and twists, joys and frustrations. Back Pack Jones brings all of these emotions in an incredible musical package. Riptide Baby" will get you on your feet, with lyrics that everyone can immediately relate to. If you've ever had a friend that can almost always 'make it all about them,' you will love Riptide Baby. You're likely to be singing the chorus before your first listen is complete
