Southpaw Jones has been writing and performing since shortly after receiving and adapting his uncle's right-handed acoustic guitar for Christmas,1993. He has fronted such bands as Apple Spider, The Spectacles, and The Southpaw Jones Aggregate in Nashville, Tennessee. The Starter Kit is his first full-studio release, and the songs contained therein are fully-realized musical visions as they were meant to be heard. The style and tone vary throughout the record, but the distinct touch of young Southpaw is a constant. In this crazy world, being successful and entertaining people are two different goals; Southpaw Jones strives for the latter with his performances and recordings.
