Detroit native Tano Jones is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose music shines with passion and energy. The driving force behind The Tano Jones Revelry, he delivers an Americana style, blending it with rock n’ roll grit and Midwest soul that’s struck a chord with listeners around the world. His songs are anthems for dreamers and seekers, encouraging anyone with a lust for life to move, clap and sing along.
Since forming The Tano Jones Revelry in 2020, he’s redefined his musical journey, drawing on years of solo work to create a sound that’s at once grounded and magnetic. The Tano Jones Revelry emerged during the turbulent early days of the pandemic, born out of a desire to express the feeling of being caught in the chaos of that era.
Their debut full-length album, Spinning North, recorded at Soup Can Music Studios in Detroit, reflects a profound emotional impact while maintaining an upbeat, approachable energy. Their sound is as much about musical flair as it is about storytelling and connecting with audiences in a meaningful way. But this band doesn’t just create music—they aim to make a difference; their philanthropic initiative, Soup & Seeds, perfectly demonstrates their mission of helping their community. Designed to uplift the towns and cities they visit on their radio tours, the program provides tangible support to those in need.
Their single, “Light It,” first released in 2021 distils the exhilarating spark of falling in love through soulful lyrics and a colourful arrangement, celebrating the power of connection. Tano’s compelling vocals are complemented by melodic guitar riffs, the grooving snap of percussion and the heavenly harmonies of featured vocalist Tosha Owens.
Together, they craft a sound that speaks to all generations, appealing to romantics and dreamers alike. Brimming with charming performance, energising rhythm and instantly catchy melodic hooks, “Light It” serves up a truly delightful jam that’s impossible not to love.
