TOMAS JONES is well known in the Washington D.C. area and beyond for work with the bands BEEFEATER and FIDELITY JONES. Various songwriters have lent their talents and styles to the intelligent lyrics of TOMAS. Heavy grooves, great guitar sound, powerful vocals, hot drumming, rich bass playing... Imagine Zappaesque musical content, with a serious lyrical message, combined with influences of many musical styles: Latin, jazz, worldbeat, rock, reggae... all sung by a singer with a raspy and passionate vocal styling; Joe Cocker as a tenor, for example. This is the first solo release for TOMAS and his first release with CHANGING TONES.

TOMAS has directed that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Rainforest Action Network to aid in the many intiatives they take to save our tropical wilderness including financial aid, educational programs, and community awareness.
