Dion Jones delivers powerful vocal performances alongside a band steeped in Southern roots gusto. His songwriting tells stories of living life to its fullest, overcoming troubles and the characters met along the way. Frequently compared to outlaw country, they also draw from country, bluegrass, Louisiana rock-n-roll & honky tonk. Whether arranging originals or reimagining classics, their thirst for musical knowledge, creative drive, and love to perform are producing exciting results. 

From Florida’s Emerald Coast, the group crafts its sound through regular performances in the eclectic music & art community of Walton County. Their modern and contemporary influences include artists like Waylon Jennings, Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Hank Williams & more. Jones and band have been awarded an array of accolades including “Best Band in the Florida Panhandle” on multiple occasions, along with performing in countless festivals supporting a variety of major headlining acts.

Their current endeavors involve recording their debut album in Muscle Shoals with grammy nominated sound engineer, Colin Lott. The album is expected to be released in 2025. As they continue to improve their abilities as a creative collaboration, Dion Jones and the Neon Tears are poised to make an enduring impact, heralding a new era of country rock.
