Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Cinnamon Jones got an early start in the music industry opening at a young age for the legendary Rick James. At 18, she moved to the Bay Area where she was introduced to the blues genre. Soon after, she began opening for major blues artists including Buddy Ace and Jessie James, R&B legend Jeffrey Osbourne, neo—soul artist Eric Benet, and jazz musicians Will Downing, Marion Meadows, and Rick Braun. Jones extended her reach to include opening acts for comedians Paul Mooney and Tommy Davidson. In 2001, Jones returned back east to Upstate New York, where she opened for George Clinton. She met the Campbell Brothers in 2009 and began traveling the globe, touring with them for the next 7 years in Denmark, Austria, Spain, Finland, Germany, Paris, and Africa. Today, Jones can be found performing at live music events including The Lake House in Canandaigua, NY and annual festivals around the Rochester area. You can also catch “Lady of Song: A Tribute to Extraordinary Women in Music” — a show she’s written and performed where tribute is paid to Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, and more. Jones adds youth advocate to her list of talents, extending her passion for the arts to kids in the Rochester area through her organization, Kids that Roc. She leads the youth program at her church organizing weekly performances, and directed and produced the documentary Generation Z, which explores the impact the events from 2020 had on the lives of our youth. With a career as electrifying as her stage presence, Jones dazzles with her ability to blend genres and set new musical standards. Her bold melodies, infectious rhythms, and unparalleled energy ignite every performance, proving that she’s not just a versatile artist but a force of nature. As Jones continues to blaze her trail, one thing is clear: she’s only getting started, and the world is in for a wild ride of groundbreaking and unforgettable music.
