The album has garnered press accolades from The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NPR, Okayplayer, Noisey, Rolling Stone and many more!On July 30th, The Jones Family Singers will make their New York Debut at Lincoln Center. The Jones Family Singers have raised the spirit and the rafters with their fierce soul-gospel sound for more than two decades. The five sisters, two brothers (Fred Jones, Jr, leads on guitar and keyboards) assorted relatives, and their patriarch Bishop Fred Jones, pastor of Mount Zion Church of God in Christ in Markham, TX have thrilled festival audiences at SXSW and elsewhere, but their first professional recording,The Spirit Speaks, was just released this past February.
