Jezebel Jones is an emerging artist who spins her roots—lots of Pentecostal church-going, traveling and human observation—into clever, modern tales of lecherous preachers, drunk & disorderly guitar players and untimely deaths. Her first album, "Queen of the Devil's Rodeo" was released November 14, 2011.

Born in Seattle, raised on a small farm in Northern Minnesota, Jezebel grew up singing and playing tambourine at church, taking care of an assortment of animals and trying to reconcile her wild ideas (and wardrobe) with the family's strict religious beliefs.

At age 18, rebellion struck with a vengeance, and Jezebel started listening to rock & roll, making out with boys, drinking and—perhaps worst of all—became a DJ at a local radio station. After studying Communications and Philosophy, Jezebel eventually moved to Minneapolis where she began to thrive in the diverse Twin Cities art/music scene.

In 2008, she fell in love with a Vintage Gibson guitar and the songs began to flow—ditties about her childhood, past loves and especially about her tumultuous relationship with religion. In 2010 Jezebel Jones & Her Wicked Ways was formed and started playing the Twin Cities and Austin, TX music scenes, where they’ve gained an increasingly loyal following, especially among fellow musicians.

Jezebel has been featured on Balcony TV.com (Austin) and has made numerous appearances on Twin Cities radio. She’s been mentioned in the Star Tribune, The Pioneer Press, Mpls/St. Paul Magazine, as well as local television affiliates ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX.
