Spotlight on the wonderfully talented musicians who performed on The Jones Thing’s upcoming album “Ephemeral Oddities”

Sam Spranger – chromatic harmonica on “The Lovely Mary Eleanore”
London England – harmonicist & guitarist

I was doing my best Jellyfish/Burt Bacharach impression and had written a swingy harmonica part but real chromatic harmonica players are very hard to find. Low and behold Seydel-endorsed Sam appeared and took my original part and made it his own.

Spotlight – James Paul Mitchell

Spotlight on the wonderfully talented musicians who performed on The Jones Thing’s upcoming album “Ephemeral Oddities”

James Paul Mitchell – solo electric guitar on “The Subconscious Disease”
Nashville guitarist, songwriter and producer

I had a melancholy yet affirming tune towards the end of the album already dripping with pedal steel guitar but was looking for a nice solo guitar to put it over the top. After several days of searching, I found James. After reading – “Riddled with dark humor and blunt musings on mental and emotional health” – from his bio about his solo work “Was Sad Before it Was Cool” – I knew I had found someone who could add exactly what I was looking for.
