Influenced by rural soundscapes in addition to the music of Rock n Roll Legend Johnny Johnson and Soul Legend Bill Withers (both West Virginia natives) Aristotle Jones combines the folksy elements of growing up in Appalachia, with the soulful storytelling, and funky pocket of Black American Music.
What makes Aristotle's music and live performances so specials is his connection to the region and history. Aristotle leans into genre blending and his repertoire combines elements of Soul, Folk, Jazz and Blues that were staples of the "Chit'lin Circuit"... with the Bluegrass, Folk, and Gospel music that was also found in big doses in coal camps in Appalachia.
His Original material, selected covers, and reimagined folk songs give the audiences a glimpse into an under represented American genre from a first hand account and transports audiences to the intersection of early Rhythm and Blues.
