Tameca Jones is the KUTX Artist of the Month for February 2024, powered by PNC Bank.
On February 29th, Tameca Jones releases her debut album, Plants & Pills, and it’s been a long time coming. Over the past decade, the Austin singer has released a handful of singles and EPs, but the album’s birth was slow going. Between motherhood, moves, the pandemic, and the anxieties of the recording studio, Jones stopped and restarted recording several times. What can’t be stopped, though, is her obvious talent. Jones is a natural, forceful singer, best experienced in person where she can play off the energy of the crowd.
This week on My KUTX, we’re rebroadcasting Jones’ guest DJ set she recorded in 2016. Her mix is eclectic in the best kind of way, showing off obvious influences like Amy Winehouse and Janelle Monae as well as her “’90’s kid” love of rockers Soundgarden and Kings Of Leon. Hear Tameca Jones’ My KUTX on Saturday, February 24 at 6 p.m. or listen anytime right here.
