    Biography

    "Kelly Jones is the musical heart and soul of Stereophonics” * BBC Wales Frontman for Stereophonics for over 20 years, whose accomplishments are near limitless. With over 10 million sales, Six Number 1 albums. Eleven Top 10 singles, including the chart-topping ‘Dakota’, headline sets at festivals including Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, V and the Isle of Wight. Huge headline shows at Slane Castle, Edinburgh Castle and Cardiff Stadiums. Tours with David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Who and U2. When recently asked what he was listening to, Bob Dylan replied, “Stereophonics.” Kelly's only solo album - 2007’s "Only The Names Have Been Changed", was released as a special limited edition to critical acclaim and introduced fans to a more soulful and stripped back sound but with his observational and narrative story telling at the forefront. Each title on the album was a girl's name - "we wanted to do something in the vein of Nick Cave's Murder Ballads or Johnny Cash's Blood, Sweat & Tears. I stripped it back and it literally went from there. The whole project had its own little concept without being forced. I'd pick a name, then write a character story around it, which is exactly how I used to write when I was 18”.
