Hailing from the small town of Ipswich in the UK, The Ashton Jones Project are rising stars who have cemented their reputation as one of the country's freshest and most talented funk and soul groups. Championed early-on by BBC Radio 2, Craig Charles and BBC 6 Music, the band are rapidly becoming known for their vibrant and dynamic live performances, drawing influence from James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Rick James and Prince. With a throwback style rarely seen across the pond, The Ashton Jones Project deliver soulful melodies, gritty funk and sparks of falsetto with an audience captivating brand of energy, musicianship and flair.
The band features some of the UK’s most gifted young musicians who have performed with artists including Cory Wong, Pee Wee Ellis, Beverley Knight, Incognito & Joss Stone. Following on from the success of their self titled debut EP, the group released their hotly anticipated debut album ‘Toast’, a contemporary interpretation of funk and soul music, described by Vanguard Magazine "as if Earth Wind & Fire and Stevie Wonder worked together and got Prince in for a guest-spot". Craig Charles called the release “phenomenal”.
Along with support slots for Grammy award winning Shalamar, The Ashton Jones Project have also appeared at a number of international festivals including Cheltenham Jazz Festival, where they returned to perform as special guests of UK soul giants Incognito.
