MARK JONES & TWENTY PACES TO RELEASE ALBUM MAY 27th<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the ever-evolving music scene, it’s more important than ever to stand out from the crowd. Having a 6’7″ lead singer goes a long way in helping Mark Jones stand out from crowd, or at least above it. With a foundation of simplicity and truth, Mark Jones and his band are making a stir with their unmistakable sound. Like the troubadours who\u2019ve inspired him, Mark\u2019s songs take you on a personal journey that begins with being true to one\u2019s self. Breaking Even<\/em>, the debut album from Houston\u2019s Mark Jones & Twenty Paces (due out May 27, 2014), delivers 12 candid and uncompromising alt-country tracks.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The son of a church music director, Jones started piano lessons at the age of six and sang in church and school choirs. Though this musical training held some influence, songwriting came to him by chance. Mark was pursuing and Agricultural Economics degree from Texas Tech University when the need to fulfill a fine art credit landed him in a songwriting class.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As a fifth-generation Texan, Mark\u2019s deep ties to family form his unassuming attitude and honest perspective. Onstage, he prefers to skip the banter and allow the music to tell his story.\u00a0 \u201cWe strive to create music that makes sense,\u201d Jones says.\u00a0 He draws from a diverse array of influences, but his greatest inspiration comes from outside the musical realm. A self-proclaimed mountain man a heart, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

His music has resonated with audiences all around Houston. \u201cThese guys will be making major waves in Texas music,\u201d says Steve Said, owner of Dosey Doe. \u201cTheir sound is fresh and unique and sounds like nothing else, but it is still distinctly Texas. One of our favorite up-and-coming acts.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2014 is going to be a great year for Mark Jones & Twenty Paces. With a full schedule ahead of them, they look forward to connecting with audiences and perfecting their blend of county and rock and roll. As Jones says, \u201cWe play two kinds of songs:\u00a0 the ones we write, and the ones we like. We hope one of them becomes your favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Album release date:\u00a0 May 27, 2014<\/p>\n
