Friday Wine Down: Brandon Mullis
|
-
We discovered Brandon several years ago by "accident"...meaning we just happened to run across a video of him playing at a small venue down in his native state of South Carolina. That video led to another and another and then we discovered, much to our delight, that he was/is a transplant to Connecticut! So, we found his contact info and the rest is history. We invited him to come just on the basis of those videos and we've had him back every year since. He brings with him a vast catalog of songs across numerous genres as well as his own, original offerings that he sprinkles into his shows...
Friday Wine Down: Benny Mikula

-
Benny Mikula is one of our all-time most popular music artists to grace our stage here at Jones, and was among those who performed here the very first summer we began doing live music at the winery (he was actually THE very first!) Benny has made his own space around New England through his soul-touching lyricism and compelling live performances. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in music but provides audiences with a lesson you cannot learn in school. Whether he is solo acoustic or accompanied by a full band (most famous for The Alpaca Gnomes), the electricity and energy are beyond doubt. His...

Friday Wine Down: Elle Sera
|
-
With soul and honesty Elle Sera’s convergence of grit and grace separates her from so many singer-songwriters of today. You can do away with any notion that a singular genre or box would contain Elle’s broad songwriting styles and even broader skills as a vocalist. Effortlessly and authentically, she flows through blues, rock, pop and country wrapped up in a singer-songwriter foothold that stir together to set her soulful vocals on fire with dynamic conviction. With pure emotion and intention–all pouring out of a barely 5’ frame– it’s a true wonder to experience the size of her voice faceted...
