Songstress Tameca Jones is one of the few musicians to be born and raised in Texas' famous and musically rich city of Austin. Referred to by locals as the "Tina Turner of jazz" due to her trademark style, Jones sings easy listening lounge as well as upbeat soulful pop with equal success. Though only present on the music circuit for the past three years and without a label or an album, Jones has opened for the likes of Smokey Robinson and David Sanborn. Jones usually performs with her quartet backing band, which is just as adept at switching genres as Jones herself.
