Based in New Orleans, Sweet Jones embodies the unified musical
collaboration of Matthew and Melissa DeOrazio (guitar/vocals),
Abe Frishman (bass), and Adrian Piano (drums). Featuring original
compositions, as well as creative interpretations of other artists’ songs,
the genre ranges from electric blues, roots, rock and Americana.
They share a passion for music and creative expression developed
independently over the years in their respective musical worlds.
Matthew is a proficient and prolific musician who has been playing guitar
and performing the majority of his life. His “modern electric blues”
combine new interpretations of familiar songs with his own compositions,
together with “spontaneous compositions” which come to life as improvisational work inspired by the moment. Matthew has worked with many other artists on guitar and drums both live and in the studio over the years, though he now dedicates most of his energy to Sweet Jones.
Melissa is a native Texan singer/songwriter who infuses her effervescent energy into her songwriting and performing. She was very active in the Austin music community for several years organizing music showcases and performing
solo-style and with band incarnations.
Joining in marriage brought their musical worlds together naturally as an
extension of their personal relationship. Their music ultimately expresses heart and soul, bringing together elements of roots rock, blues and Americana.
Sweet Jones filmed and recorded their live show on September 12th, 2009 at the Balcony Music Club in New Orleans. They will be releasing the CD/DVD April 30, 2010.
