Since her 2006 breakthrough album, My Remembrance of You, Diana Jones has been a major literary voice in contemporary song. “Songs come in a flurry of inspiration. I don’t understand it but I’m grateful.” But a journey of adoption and reunion as mysterious as her songwriting led to the gritty, authentic, Americana storytelling that has become her life’s work and her live show.
Within her first two years on the scene she gained critical acclaim, international radio play being championed by BBC’s Bob Harris, BBC Scotland's, Ricky Ross and Chicago radio WFMT's Rich Warren. She played sold out concert venues, toured with Richard Thompson and Mary Gauthier, opened for Peggy Seeger and Nick Lowe, appeared on BBC4 Folk America with Seasick Steve, played the Cambridge Folk. Festival Main Stage and was a guest on the Jools Holland Show. Joan Baez recorded “Henry Russell’s Last Words” on Day After Tomorrow, the Grammy-nominated 2008 album produced by Steve Earle. She continued touring internationally appearing on BBC4 Songwriter Sessions with Steve Earle and Tom Morello. Diana has six original recordings through and her progressive, yet historically rich, songs have been recorded by artists including Joan Baez, Iris DeMent, Ana Egge and Gretchen Peters and have won her numerous folk festival awards including New Song Festival, The Kerrville New Folk Award, and International Folk Alliance nominations for Emerging Artist (2007), Song of the Year (2007) and Song of the Year (2022).
