Seth Adam launches our 2026 summer music season this year at Jones Winery! Seth, who hails from New Haven, CT, describes his music as singer-songwriter/Americana/folk/rock. He writes compelling, genuine songs with honest lyrics. Taking musical cues from artists like Counting Crows, Tom Petty, and Jason Isbell, he creates his own brand of edgy, Americana-informed rock & roll with a socially-conscious message. In 2007, his song ‘Get Out’ was licensed to Volkswagen for their Sights & Sounds campaign. In 2008, then Fox.com entertainment columnist in NYC, Roger Friedman, called Seth “the hardest...

Griff! One of our all-time, guest-favorite artists here at Jones since we began our summer music series a decade-and-a-half ago. We discovered him in 2019 and he's been delighting our winery guests every summer since then...and what a delight he is. Griff's 6' 5" frame feels as comfortable on a stage with a guitar in his hand as he is in his own living room and, along with his silky smooth baritone voice, immediately brings everyone right into that living room with him. He's one of the most relatable artists you'll see on the trail, weaving stories about life - which now include his beautiful...
Dan Carlucci

Dan Carlucci

Dan Carlucci - one of the most talented musicians/songwriters you'll find anywhere in New England. There is no genre of music (at least, that we know of) that Dan cannot present with total professionalism. From Americana to Folk to Singer-Songwriter to Country to Bluegrass, Dan can do them all (and more!) and with any given song, you'd think that THAT genre is his specialty. Dan not only plays solo but in his very popular band, Hitch and the Giddyup. But that's not all. Dan is always in high demand to join any of his vast network of fellow musicians to play various gigs with their duos, trios...

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...

Shawn Taylor serves up original “Wandering Roots” (genre weaving Americana) on acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocals, ukulele and foot drums. He’s on his fifth album of original ‘wandering roots’ music, has toured since 2008 and been acclaimed for his songs and short stories. He's opened for legends like Maria Muldaur and contemporaries like Sarah Potenza and even played for and loaned his guitar to Jose Feliciano. He’s thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, The Long Trail and The John Muir Trail and performs with a thru-hikers wanderlust and wanton abandon.
Brian Dolzani

Brian Dolzani

| -
Brian Dolzani is a contemporary singer/songwriter that possesses an old soul. A listen to his music makes that point abundantly clear. So too, the fact that he lists any number of ‘60s and ‘70s songwriters as prime influences — Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Crosby, Stills and Nash, to Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Credence Clearwater Revival, among them — suggests that his roots reside in a great storytelling tradition. Like his forebears, Brian is all about to creating a connection to his audiences through the expression of innermost emotion. In the process, he shares a sound that’s...

When Holley McCreary opens her mouth, throws back her head, and starts wailing out the blues influence that drips from within her soul, people stop, turn their heads, and say "WHOA!" Holley is an incredible singer/songwriter whose roots stem from the deep south. Growing up in Florida and Alabama, she was heavily influenced by both gospel music and the Muscle Shoals sound. In her latest venture, Holley is harkening back to her southern roots while embracing a fresh new sound. Pulling inspiration from artists like Bobbie Gentry, Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt and The Allman Brothers, Holley’s most...

Known by those that have seen her perform to be a captivating singer/songwriter with haunting and heart-wrenchingly honest lyrics, her intense passion will cut deep enough to hit a nerve.

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...

Riley Cotton

Riley Cotton is a New England Music Award nominated singer/songwriter based in Hartford, CT. Cotton has been described as “…an old-school type of songwriter whose songs and performance are able to cross space and time to touch that part of your brain where love, loss, happiness, and longing all co-exist” (Chip McCabe, The Dad Metal Blog). While growing up in Texas, much of her musical taste was shaped by the voices of the women of country music who so boldly embraced the power of their belt and femininity in the face of an industry that did not embrace them. While writing her own music, Riley...

Chris Cavaliere is one of our longtime 'veterans' to our winery stage and is a crowd favorite here!

If you've been to our farm during Christmas season, chances are you've seen Riley Johnson. In fact, he may have helped you select your perfect Christmas tree and even carried it to your car! Riley enjoys working here on the farm at Christmas, but his true love and passion is music. Born in southern Connecticut, and steeped in music growing up, Johnson began playing guitar at a young age. Originally playing lead guitar in blues and jam bands, by his late teenage years, Johnson began writing his own songs and took to a more fitting, mellow singer/songwriter vibe. His taste for folk music, old...

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...
