Whether it’s in the studio or on stage, Chris Jones & The Night Drivers are making some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving music to be heard anywhere today, and they’re delivering it with a unique blend of instrumental expertise, emotional authenticity, and broad humor that’s won the loyalty of a growing number of fans across the country, from Merlefest in North Carolina to California’s Huck Finn Jubilee, and around the world. Steve Martin referred to the Night Drivers as “. . . some of the best players in bluegrass! Chris Jones’ voice is there with the great masters.”
Founded by guitarist Jones in 1995, the Night Drivers feature four distinct personalities who bring a multitude of talents to each performance: Chris Jones, lead singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter and arranger, who also hosts shows on Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction and Willie’s Roadhouse, Mark Stoffel on mandolin, a recording artist in his own right, Grace van’t Hof on banjo, harmony vocals and uke/tenor guitar, also an award-winning graphic designer (designer of all the band’s recent cover art), and newest member, Nelson Williams on bass, who is also a member of the new Black string band New Dangerfield. Chris and the Night Drivers have racked up an impressive 23 #1 bluegrass songs and have won 11 IBMA awards.
