KEZIAH JONES, ORIGINATOR OF BLUFUNK, ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES IN THE US AND CANADA! FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM, NIGERIAN WOOD, OUT JANUARY 2010 ON MERCER STREET RECORDS
Keziah Jones is a Nigerian born world traveler, a guitarist with flavors of African avant-gardism and a natural New York attitude. He plans to inspire US and Canadian crowds alike with his sultry numbers and sexy guitar licks. Keziah Jones’ sound is reminiscent of Santana covered in honey and supported with laid back hip-hop beats. It wouldn’t be unlikely that you’d hear the swoons and panting of women in the crowd next to you while Keziah effortlessly moves along his fret board with skill.
His long awaited fifth album, Nigerian Wood (to be released in the US January 2010 on Mercer Street Records), emphasizes his devotion to African soul roots and to the message of love. The album takes on new rhythmic vibes that are underscored by his acrobatic vocals and unique blufunk guitar style.
Keziah will be supporting the electric sounds of Lenny Kravitz on October 18th and Julian and Steven Marley on October 19th. Keziah will headline all other dates with local support.
