Jon and the Jones

Jon and the Jones are a New York-based, blues-rock band signed to [...] Wingate’s new artist development label, BHi Music Group. The line-up features Jon Moodie (guitar/vocals), Brian Stanley (bass) and Helen Destroy (drums).

Formation

In 2010, Jon Moodie was signed to an exclusive songwriting deal with Big House Publishing. This led to the production of ten showcase songs as a soloist and performances around the New York music scene. As Moodie honed his musicianship he was compelled to add more musicians to further diversify his sound. Drummer, Helen Destroy, and bassist, Brian Stanley, soon joined Moodie and they morphed into a band. In 2013, the band was signed to BHi Music Group.
