Unlike most of her friends, Diana was attracted to the music of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, as well as contemporary artists Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. It wasn't until she was reunited with her birth family and the music of the Eastern Tennessee hills some years later, that she discovered why that music had always moved her. After establishing a solid folk career in the late 90's in the fertile Austin music scene, Diana returned to the northeast seeking time to heal from the loss of her beloved grandfather, Robert Lee Maranville, who as a young man performed with Chet Atkins among others. It was during this time of healing and isolation, that Diana started writing from a deeper place, and after some serious wood shedding, she emerged with some of the most honest songs of her life. When Diana Jones went in search of her birth family, she also found her voice - as a writer and a singer. Since her first appearance at TwickFolk in January 2008 Diana has released her acclaimed second CD "Better Times Will Come" on Proper Records, toured regularly around the UK, made triumphant appearances at festivals such as Cambridge, appeared on 'Later with Jools Holland' on BBC2 and taken part in the BBC's 'Folk America' concerts at the Barbican. She will be over again in January predominantly for appearances at Celtic Connections in Glasgow but we're delighted that she's been able to schedule a return visit to TwickFolk almost two years to the day after she helped us celebrate the club's 25th anniversary http://www.myspace.com/dianajonesmusic Oliver Talkes, formerly of Southern Tenant Folk Union will be opening the evening accompanied by Jim Willis on fiddle http://www.myspace.com/olivertalkes |
