Jones and the Crew brings Txako Jones’ Spanish blues and soul voice together with Jan Hirte’s guitar, Matthias Falkenau’s Hammond and Carlos Dalelane’s irresistible groove.

An international band from Spain, Mozambique and Germany – tight, distinctive and always dangerously close to the dance floor.
