Andrew Jr. Boy Jones is a blues artist who’s been around a long time. He started his career playing in Freddie King’s backing band, the Thunderbirds when he was 16. I recently interviewed him for the Original Texas Music Magazine, Buddy and fell in love with this humble man. He told me during the interview that “he didn’t choose the blues, the blues chose him.” And, lucky for us they did.
And to put the icing on the cake, his wife, Kerrie Lepai Jones, is the most amazing white woman blues singer on the planet! Â Don’t believe me? Click HERE and see for yourself!
She put together a YouTube video that showcases “Jr. Boy” and his lengthy career. Click HERE to watch. Nobody plays blues rifts like him. He has his own unique style that he developed over the years and it sets him apart from any other blues picker around.
There is a point to this blog. Last night, in Austin, Texas, at the historic Antone’s nightclub, Andrew Jr. Boy  and Kerrie did a show. Now, I’ve lived in Texas a long time and even lived in Austin for many years, but last night was my first visit to Antone’s. Was I impressed with the club? No. BUT, the music I heard last night – the BLUES – was spectacular – made me feel oh so good!
I snapped a couple of pictures.
I recorded a live FB video on my phone and even though the quality isn’t great, the “special” ingredient that Andrew Jr. Boy and Kerrie have shines! You can see them on my Facebook Page Here.
They both have brand new CDs. I know they’d be extremely appreciative if you’d head over to CDBaby and pick up a copy of both. I can give you a written guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.

Wow, Jan, Kerrie is amazing! I half expected to see Janis Joplin come bopping into the room and join her. Now wouldn’t that be something to listen to… 🙂
You know it’s funny, Tina, but I always think the same thing every time I see her perform! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
I love what I call “slice of life” posts. Yeah, we’re all writers, but we’re people too. Great post.
Thanks, Craig. 🙂 Glad you stopped by.
I listened in on a few of the clips, Jan. A lot of talent there. I’m sure they were spectacular to see in person. Sounds like an amazing evening!
Thanks for giving them a listen, Mae. I admire anyone with talent whether it be writing, art or music! They are both amazing in the music and writing department. 🙂
Music has a way of grabbing the soul like nothing other….Beautiful story, Jan.
Thank you, Gwen. As always, I appreciate you stopping by.
Super Post, Jan.
Thanks, John. If you love the blues, check out these two artists! Texas produces some of the greatest music on the planet!
You are so right.
