About BB Jones:

BB Jones is the solo project of singer/songwriter Carlynn Nelson. BB Jones’ sound mixes elements of indie alternative acts like Juana Molina, Massive Attack, Bjork, Fiona Apple, Karen O. and PJ Harvey. Born and raised outside of Chicago, BB Jones grew up learning piano, making her own radio stations with friends on her tape recorder, and being inspired by her father’s bass playing and singing. As a young girl she was told, “girls don’t play bass” and has been proving that statement wrong ever since.  

BB Jones has been involved in the Seattle music scene since 2001. She has played with various bands, but most recently formed SULK with husband Peder Nelson and Theatrical Producer, Jasper McCann. SULK just put on a killer show at one of the top record stores in the country, Easy Street Records. BB also plays in the eclectic female trio, Mannequin BBQ. In addition to playing Seattle Summer Festivals, Mannequin BBQ also traveled to Hollywood to be in Will Arnett and Mike Myers reinvented version of The Gong Show,  

BB Jones took bass and recording lessons from the bassist of Duff McKagen’s Loaded band, Jeff Rouse. Now she is ready to release her first ever self-recorded and produced solo album, Sediments. After hearing Sediments, Seattle music legend Kurt Bloch exclaimed, “I daresay, this is a formidable piece of work indeed!” and KEXP DJ, Troy Nelson said, “Wow, this is way better than I expected it to be!” and then promptly asked to listen to it again. This seems to be a common reaction to this unique artist. With rich, thoughtful, in-depth and heart wrenching songs, audiences are sure to be captivated by the incredible BB Jones.
